Staggeringly complex. But why the name "Dwarf suite"?

This has recently become one of my most favorite works.
It has such imaginative depth, and the music draws you into its distinctive world.
It conjures up in my mind shadowed images of strange dwarven beings that can not be fully seen. The individual pieces seem to fit their thematic names perfectly. I am somewhat confused about the name of the third piece on the manuscript: it says "Funeral March of the Gnomes", whereas the rest of the pieces say dwarves.

The French edition was entitled "Suite des Gnomes." Probably a translation glitch. A note in the recent biography says to "See Musical America, April 8, 1916 for L.O's explanation of the title."

No one knows. I wouldn't read too much into it. Whether the image inspired the music or vice versa we'll never know. This was almost certainly his first "radical" composition.
