Summary of This Sheet Music
Arrangements by Nicolai Podgornov offer a journey into the heart of great Russian classics, bringing together world-renowned themes from ballets and opera, as well as iconic concert pieces. Included are works by Pyotr Ilyich Tchaikovsky such as the Waltz from "Dornröschen," the theme and the famous "Dance of the Little Swans" from "Swan Lake," as well as the "Dance of the Mirlitons" from "The Nutcracker." The collection also highlights Alexander Borodin with the Nocturne from "String Quartet No. 2" and the "Dance of the Polovtsian Maidens" from "Prince Igor."
The selection also embraces modernity and rhythmic energy with Dmitri Shostakovich (Waltz from "Jazz Suite No. 2") and Sergei Prokofiev (March from "The Love for Three Oranges," then "Montagues and Capulets" from "Romeo and Juliet"). For grand lyrical outbursts and contrasts, Aram Khachaturian is featured with the Adagio from "Spartacus" and the flamboyant "Sabre Dance" from "Gayaneh." Finally, the collection concludes with two essentials by Nikolai Rimsky-Korsakov: the spectacular "Flight of the Bumblebee" (from "The Tale of Tsar Saltan") and the very melodic "Song of India" (from "Sadko"). A coherent set, ideal for working on style, expressiveness, and musical color through themes that have marked the history of music.
