Delightful piece. Imagine it played by a pianist with a lighter touch.

@jeffbrak This was published in 1915.
Moeran's Bank Holiday is from 1925.

How is it possible that an English composer, Sir Arnold Edward Trevor Bax, made a piece named after vodka, and yet I haven't ever heard of any Russian composers writing anything related to vodka!
Pyotr Ilyich Tchaikovsky, Mikhail Ivanovich Glinka, Segei Vasilievich Rachmaninoff, Igor Fyodorovich Stravinsky, Modest Petrovich Mussorgsky, Dmitri Dmitriyevich Shostakovich, et cetera, would compose much better after drinking vodka!
(I'm joking!)

Do I detect some Medtner? Some Scriabin and a pinch of Stranvinsky too.

It's lamentable how underrated (or, at least, relatively unknown) Bax is. I quite enjoyed this piece--frivolous, but not absurd. Now and then, I hear sections that remind me of Liszt. Lovely piece, and a very clean performance.
