Musicology Annotation << Back A.P. Borodin’s instrumentation of the song «U Ludei-to v domu» («People differ – their homes differ»): the main aspects of the composer’s orchestral style Latyshev Nikolay A. The following article studies A.P. Borodin’s vocal miniature «U Ludei-to V Domu» («People differ – their homes differ») and the main aspects of its instrumentation. This article’s relevance and its originality is due to the fact that a fairly compact music piece is being studied in an aspect that hasn’t been explored previously. This research is based of the first publication of piece dated 1890 and Borodin’s original manuscript dated 1881 and stored in the archives of the Russian National Library. Due to a thorough analysis of the manuscript, it can be confi rmed that the composer focused his attention on various details gravitating towards the most economical usage of compositional tools when orchestrating the piece. While writing the piece he considerably tweaked the instrumentation trying to achieve a perfect balance between the soloist and the accompaniment underlining the important lyrics in N.A. Nekrasov’s poem. The article studies various aspects of how the piece was prepared for publication, as well as the editorial work done by A.K. Glazunov. Glazunov’s proofreading notes are mainly focused on correcting various publishing inaccuracies in relation to the lyrics and the music texts of the composition. The article also studies the differences between the manuscript, the published sheet music and the piano reduction made by G.O. Dutsh and various notes on tempo and dynamics. Keywords: A.P. Borodin, A.K. Glazunov, G.O. Dutsh, chamber vocal miniature, nstrumentation, manuscript, orchestral style, editorial work, publication of work.
