Tchaikovsky and the Mighty Handful
This course was available in the past and may be presented again as part of the Open Enrollment curriculum.
The second half of the nineteenth century witnessed an astonishing explosion in Russian music. The thoroughly Russian yet internationally renowned Tchaikovsky conquered virtually all existing genres, while creating the Russian ballet. The "Mighty Handful", consisting of Balakirev, Cui, Borodin, and especially Rimsky Korsakov and Mussorgsky, created a colorful Nationalistic idiom, a deliberate turning away from the dominant German tradition.
