Luckily, it was raining here in Austria today too. So.. I call it a day and you can enjoy this Tango, where I had a lot of fun messing with harmonies in the repetition ;)
Ilya Alekseevich Shatrov (1879 (or 1885) - 1952) was a Russian military musician, conductor and composer, known for composing the waltz On the Hills of Manchuria in 1906, recounting his experiences at the Battle of Mukden during the Russo-Japanese War, which he dedicated to one of his comrades fallen at the battle. (This piece is from it , in fact)
There is a surprisingly long wikipedia article for details.
The tempo is a bit fast because right now I feel it as 2/2 and not 4/4. Third play after first sight,.
The score is here
