Cyril Scott (27 September 1879 – 31 December 1970) was a romanticist with some impressionist qualities. His harmonic treatments and piano works depict the exotic. He was sometimes referred to as “the English Debussy.” Scott was born in Oxton, Cheshire to a shipper and scholar of Greek and Hebrew, and Mary Scott (née Griffiths), an amateur pianist. He showed a talent for music from an early age and was sent to the Hoch Conservatory in Frankfurt, Germany to study piano in 1892 at age 12. <a href=
