Symphony No.1

More about the book

The book delves into the creation of Borodin's first symphonic work, initiated in 1862 under the guidance of Mily Balakirev. It highlights the composition's evolution over five years, culminating in its successful premiere in 1868, which marked Borodin's emergence as a significant figure in Russian orchestral music. The score included is a digitally-enhanced reprint from a 1946 edition by the Soviet State Publisher Muzgiz, based on an earlier version edited by Rimsky-Korsakov and Glazunov after Borodin's passing.
