Re: [ARSCLIST] Assistance Please with Russian Waltz

[mike aylward <mikeaylward@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

The composer's name is Maks Averyanovich Kyuss (1874-1942).  HIs date of 
birth is also given as 1877.

It would seem that his name is most often transliterated as 'Max Kuss'.

If you require more detailed biographical information, let me know.

Lajos Kiss was Hungarian, it seems. I would think it more likely this 
person:

Kuss, Margarita Ivanova, 1921-

The first initial is the same, and she is on OCLC
with a couple of scores and a recording of songs. But no waltzes.
