Inner Mongolia Suite

Inner Mongolia Suite, Op. 9, is a suite for violin and piano by Ma Sicong (1912-1987). The Suite was composed in 1937 after Ma's return from a trip to Suiyuan province, and published under the title Suiyuan Suite ; it was renamed after Suiyuan was incorporated into Inner Mongolia in 1954. Its three movements, based on traditional music of the Suiyuan region, are:
 * I. Epic
 * II. Nostalgia
 * III. Dances Beyond the Frontier.

The second movement, Nostalgia is Ma's most famous work. It is still frequently played in concerts.
