From Wikipedia:
The Incidental music to Masquerade was written in 1941 by Aram Khachaturian for a production of Russian poet and playwright Mikhail Lermontov's play of the same name. It premiered on 21 June 1941 in the Vakhtangov Theatre in Moscow. It is better known in the form of a five-movement suite.
Later, in 1944, Khachaturian extracted five movements to make a symphonic suite. The movements are:
- Waltz
- Nocturne
- Mazurka
- Romance
- Galop.
