  Cyril Scott - LoveToKnow 1911
"CYRIL SCOTT (1879-), English musical composer, pianist and author, born at Oxton, Birkenhead, Sept. 27 1879, was musically educated at the Hoch conservatorium, Frankfurt A/M, chiefly under Ivan Knorr.
Subsequently Scott produced a vast amount of music, more especially of songs, most of which are on the same high level as that of the Schumacherlieder of his student days.
Scott also published several volumes of poems, including The Voice of the Ancient (1910); The Vales of Unity (1912); The Celestial Aftermath (1915) and the prose book The Philosophy of Modernism (1917).

Cyril Meir Scott was born in 1879 in Oxton, a suburb of Birkenhead, the son of a business-man who was also scholar of Greek and Hebrew and of a mother who was an amateur pianist.
In 1898 Scott returned to England, giving a piano recital in Liverpool, where he took a few pupils, and was now drawn himself, through the influence of his friend Charles Bonnier, Professor of French Literature at Liverpool University, towards the writing of poetry.
Scott himself withdrew his first symphony and Heroic Suite and claimed to find the true beginning of his career as an orchestral composer in the Two Passacaglias, written in 1912 and first performed under Thomas Beecham in 1916.

He has a particular style of harmony that is quite characteristic and recognisable (like his liking for shifting up chords in half-steps) That said, the only piece of his I've studied in depth was his 'Danse Negre', which I enjoyed, though it was difficult technically, and still is.
