Musicology Annotation << Back The «Author’s Style» of N.A. Rimsky- Korsakov — at Working under «Dumka of Parasia» by M.P. Mussorgsky Marina Vasiltsova It’s known that «Khovanshina» and «The Fair of Sorochintsy» had remained unfinished and respectively hadn’t been orchestrated by the author. But there had been preserved the scores of some numbers from two operas — which were made for the production at the concerts of The Free Music School during 1879–1880s. For «The Fair of Sorochintsy» Mussorgsky had been orchestrated only two numbers — Introduction and « Parasia’s Dumka». Full «Parasia’s Dumka» score was completed by N. Rimsky-Korsakov. In the article are researched the autographs of both Mussorgsky’s scores held in the fund of N. Rimsky-Korsakov in the Manuscript Division of the Russian National Library. The autograph of «Parasia’s Dumka» gives a good opportunity to discuss the features of the two orchestral styles of composers in the early 1880's. Keywords: «The Fair of Sorochintsy», M.P. Mussorgsky, N.A. Rimsky-Korsakov, orchestral style, last period, editor. Contacts: Email: marinvasilcov@yandex.ru Pp. 47-54.
