About This Book

A concise guide to Russian musical life and personalities, beginning with a brief Q&A on Russia and the relatively recent rise of a national school drawn from popular songs and legends and marked by Glinka’s 1836 opera. It then presents illustrated biographical sketches of major figures, outlining Glinka’s upbringing, education, operatic successes and later travels and death, followed by Rubinstein’s early training, tours, teaching connections, and professional appointments. The pieces trace the emergence of national style, institutional development, and the personal struggles and achievements that shaped nineteenth-century Russian music.
