This book examines the composer's significance as the founder of Russian Opera and Russian symphonism, who managed to merge the best of Russian folk music and West European musical traditions. From his early years to the period of his great game and creative triumphs, this book takes the reader with Glinka on his trips to Italy, Spain, Germany and Poland, and illustrates Glinka's profound interest in Oriental music.
