Alexander Borodin (1833–1887)
Auteur van Kismet: A Musical Arabian Night [libretto]
Over de Auteur
Born in St. Petersburg, Russia, in 1833, Alexander Borodin was educated by private tutors. He excelled in many subjects, including foreign language and science. Without formal instruction, Borodin learned to play the flute and the cello and acquired the rudiments of music theory from textbooks. At toon meer the age of 10, Borodin wrote Helene, a piano polka inspired by, and dedicated to, his first love. Later, Borodin became an active and productive member of The Russian Five, the school with which Russian nationalistic music came to full flower. Borodin's main occupation was as a scientist; his music took a lesser role. Even though he described himself as a Sunday composer, Borodin compiled a respectable body of work, including operas, orchestral and chamber music, and piano and vocal music. Most notable is his unfinished opera Prince Igor, from which he extracted the well-known Polovtsian Dances for orchestra. Borodin's compositions are noted for their use of rhythmic and orchestral color. Borodin died in 1887. (Bowker Author Biography) toon minder
