Borodin started composing his first excursion into the symphonic
form in 1862, while studying with Mily Balakirev. He worked on it
sporadically for the next five years, making revisions in the wake
of an informal orchestral reading in 1867. The official premiere,
at a concert of the Russian Musical Society on 23 December 1868
conducted by his tutor Balakirev, successfully established Borodin
as a major force in Russian orchestral music. The score presented
here is a digitally-enhanced reprint of the one issued ca.1946 by
the Soviet State Publisher Muzgiz, itself a re-engraving of the
score edited by Rimsky-Korsakov and Glazunov which was published by
V. Bessel after the composer's death in 1887.
