Inner Mongolia Suite

Inner Mongolia Suite, Op. 9, is a suite for violin and piano by Ma Sicong. 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.
