Alexander Porfirievich Borodin Heroic theme in the composer's work 1833-1887
Poetic soul Alexander Borodin was born on November 12, 1833 in St. Petersburg. Sasha began studying music at the age of eight and soon learned to play the flute, piano, and later the cello. The boy began composing as soon as he was nine years old. And in 1849, an article appeared in one of the St. Petersburg newspapers, which, in particular, said: “In our opinion, the works of the gifted sixteen-year-old composer Alexander Borodin deserve special attention... We are all the more willing to welcome this new national talent that the career of the composer begins not polkas and mazurkas, but positive work, distinguishing in the composition a subtle aesthetic taste and a poetic soul.”
Commonwealth of Chemists If only the author of the article knew what this “poetic soul” was raving about. The boy's entire room was filled with flasks, burners and other devices for chemical experiments. In 1850, Sasha Borodin entered the Medico-Chemical Academy. The studies went very successfully. The time has come, and, having defended his doctoral dissertation, the young scientist and his comrades went on a three-year business trip abroad. Many of them later became the pride and glory of Russian science: D. Mendeleev, A. Butlerov, I. Sechenov, and others. And then, at the very beginning of the 1860s, they were all still young and taking their first steps, each in their own field of science. Chemical scientists had especially warm relations. Almost immediately upon his arrival in the German city of Heidelberg, Borodin became friends with talented young chemists V. Savich, V. Olevinsky, D. Mendeleev. Unfortunately, Savich and Olevinsky died early, without having time to prove themselves. The friendship between Borodin and Mendeleev lasted for life.
Young scientist By that time, the young scientist Borodin was already the author of several romances, instrumental pieces, ensembles. Some of his piano pieces were even published. In Heidelberg, Borodin also composed, mainly chamber instrumental ensembles: piano trio, sextet, string quintet. They are immediately willingly performed on musical evenings. But, despite his strong attraction to music and the success of his compositions, he belongs to music lessons as a secondary matter - so great was the passion for science.
Second Symphony Then he created the Second Symphony - one of the best works of Russian symphonic music, a mature work, perfect in form and content. The symphony expresses the ideas of patriotism, national pride for our glorious historical past.
It was enthusiastically received by the composer's friends, who praised it as the best Russian symphony, surpassing everything created before it. When Mussorgsky suggested calling it “Slavic heroic”, Stasov protested: not Slavic in general, but specifically Russian, heroic. So this symphony began to be called “Bogatyrskaya”. The second, Bogatyr Symphony stands on a par with the best works world musical classics. It embodies the enduring spiritual values and spiritual qualities of the Russian person.
Opera "Prince Igor" Simultaneously with the Second Symphony, Borodin also worked on the creation of his main work - the opera "Prince Igor". He began composing it back in the late 1860s. Stasov then suggested to him “The Tale of Igor’s Campaign” as a plot. This fascinated the composer, and soon he composed detailed plan future opera. Thus began the inspired and painstaking work over the opera “Prince Igor”, which, due to his constant busyness, lasted for 18 years - until his death.

Borodin's thoroughness as a scientist was also reflected in his approach to composing. Scroll historical sources- scientific and artistic-literary, which he worked on before he began creating the opera, speaks volumes. Here are various translations of “The Tale of Igor’s Campaign”, and that’s all basic research on the history of Russia. Working on the opera helped me endure disappointments and failures. Particularly depressing was his wife's illness - asthma, because of which she could not live in St. Petersburg and usually spent six months with her parents in Moscow or the Moscow region. And her visits to St. Petersburg did not make Borodin’s life any easier.
Music displaces the scientist... Nevertheless, at the end of his life Borodin devotes himself more and more to music - the composer gradually displaces the scientist in him. During these years, the symphonic painting “In Central Asia", several piano pieces and chamber ensembles. One of them is the First string quartet- was performed in the winter of 1879 at a concert of the Russian Musical Society.
Russian hero... The listeners were fascinated by the Russian melodiousness, breadth and plasticity of this music.
Worldwide fame Borodin's works are heard more and more often - in Russia and abroad; They are gaining more and more fame for Russian national music. Both in Europe and in distant America, the performance of Borodin’s music often turned into a real triumph.
And Borodin was already working hard on a new symphony - the Third, which, in his opinion, was to become his brightest, most significant work. The composer intended to call it “Russian”. He had already played some fragments from it to his friends, causing joy, admiration and pride for him. And yet neither the opera Prince Igor nor the Third Symphony were completed. On February 15, 1887, Borodin died unexpectedly.
