What a wonderful set! I love the 19th centuty romantic style of my country. I coul've guessed the 3rd piece was really by Schumann. The first one reminds me more of Grieg.
What does the "iana" suffix mean in pieces? What's the equivalent translation, and what's the goal of the piece, structurally and musically?? I've heard of Scarlattiana and Mozartiana pieces like this as well.
It's a great question. I've assumed that it signifies a piece almost like a Grand Fantasy either in the style of the composer, or on specific themes by the composer. Almost as if to pay homage to the composer whilst still adding originality.

The second piece reminds me more of middle-period Faure than Schumann tbh, but I guess you can argue that Faure sometimes sounds like Schumann.

You might find the WikiPedia entry on the suffix interesting: en.wikipedia.org/wiki/-ana (includes a list of other such musical works). Cheers
