Glinka moves to the forefront via close study of both of his operas. A historical account of the composition of Borodin's \u003ci\u003ePrince Igor\u003c\/i\u003e enriches the critical study made in the first book. And chapters on \u003ci\u003eMlada\u003c\/i\u003e and \u003ci\u003eTsar Saltan\u003c\/i\u003e round out Abraham's appreciations of the major operas of Rimsky-Korsakov.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThere are also critical and historical essays on works by Mussorgsky, Dargom zhsky, Tchaikovsky and other composers, and analyses that, in their time, threw new light on the programmatic meaning of such well-known compositions as \u003ci\u003eScheherazade\u003c\/i\u003e and the \u003ci\u003ePath\u003c\/i\u003e\u003ci\u003e tique\u003c\/i\u003e symphony.
