He also wrote many operas, excerpts from which are featured in this collection. \u003cbr\u003eContents include the famous orchestral interlude \u003ci\u003eThe Flight of the Bumblebee\u003c\/i\u003e as well as the suite from \u003ci\u003eThe Tale of Tsar Saltan\u003c\/i\u003e. This fanciful opera was based on Aleksandr Pushkin's poem, \"The Tale of Tsar Saltan, of His Son the Renowned and Mighty Bogatyr Prince Gvidon Saltanovich and of the Beautiful Princess-Swan.\" Additional selections include the suite from another work inspired by Pushkin's poetry,\u003ci\u003e The Golden Cockerel\u003c\/i\u003e, a controversial satire of the disastrous effects of the tsarist regime. Nikolai Gogol's \u003ci\u003eEvenings on a Farm Near Dikanka\u003c\/i\u003e served as the basis for\u003ci\u003e Christmas Eve\u003c\/i\u003e, a tale of magical doings on Christmas Eve. The final suite is \u003ci\u003eDubinushka\u003c\/i\u003e, Op. 62, a work rooted in a song the composer overheard protesters singing during the 1905 revolution. Musicians and music lovers will appreciate this inexpensive collection of popular works, all reproduced from authoritative sources.\u003cbr\u003e","brand":"Dover Publications","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":47106536505584,"sku":"9780486798202","price":24.95,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0737\/7593\/9824\/files\/9780486798202_p0.jpg?v=1763709318","url":"https:\/\/shop-qa.barnesandnoble.com\/products\/9780486798202","provider":"Barnes \u0026 Noble (DEV)","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
