Mykola Leontovych
Mykola Leontovych specialised in a cappella choral music. He is remembered today mostly through the musical works he left behind, which include over 150 choral compositions. These range from artistic arrangements of folk songs, religious works (including his liturgy), cantatas, and choral compositions set to the words of various Ukrainian poets. His two most famous works are the choral miniatures "Schedryk" and "Dudaryk".
Boris Fitinhof-Schell
Fitinhoff-Schell is also noted for his "Fantastic Overture" to his opera "Mazeppa" (1859, libretto by Prince Grigory Kugushev), in which whole-tone scales were profusely employed. Franz Liszt greatly appreciated this piece, describing its effect as "" ... terrifying to all long and protruding ears."" Liszt himself made use of the whole-tone scale in his "Divina Commedia", illustrating the Inferno, and he used it systematically in his posthumously published organ and late piano pieces.
