Musical score format.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThis 1879 musical edition presents Mikhail Glinka’s seminal masterpiece, Ruslan and Lyudmila, in a comprehensive arrangement for solo piano. The text provides a deep dive into the internal logic of the first true Russian epic opera, including the arrangement of Glinka's complex orchestral textures and orientalist melodies into a playable format for the domestic setting. Based on Alexander Pushkin's fairy-tale poem, this \"grand magic opera\" serves as a vital primary source for documenting the 19th-century dissemination of Russian national music. Published by the influential house of Peter Jurgenson, this volume allowed the revolutionary \"Glinka style\"—characterized by its daring harmonies and folk-inspired themes—to reach the parlors and salons of the Russian intelligentsia long before symphonic recordings were possible. The plate number 3944 marks this edition as a significant artifact from the era when Jurgenson was systematically preserving the foundation of the Russian operatic canon, bridging the gap between the high art of the Imperial stages and the vibrant musical life of the broader public.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Stanza Rare Books","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":44115401736234,"sku":"BOOK-GLIM-10HA","price":80.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0701\/6359\/5306\/files\/IMG_8098.jpg?v=1771775174","url":"https:\/\/stanzararebooks.com\/products\/glinka-m-i-ruslan-and-lyudmila-ruslan-i-lyudmila-grand-magic-opera-in-5-acts-based-on-the-poem-by-a-pushkin-1879-in-russian","provider":"Stanza Rare Books","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
