This study score has been off-printed from OUP's conductor's score
(available on hire), edited by David Lloyd Jones. Based on
Mussorgsky's [Musorgsky's] original autograph from 1867 rather than
the famous arrangement by Rimsky-Korsakov, it combines the
scholarship of the conductor's edition with the practical benefits
of a study score format. This edition takes account of practical
performing considerations, where necessary, and includes an
introduction by the editor. Orchestral material is available on
hire/rental.

This famous work has had a chequered performance history, and
Professor Laurel E. Fay points out that the interpretation of the
opera depends on which edition is used. Robert Oldani introduces
the "Boris problem": Pushkin's play was not an obvious choice for a
young composer, since it had been banned for forty years, and it is
the Russian people, rather than any single character, who is the
protagonist. Alex de Jonge examines its uniquely Russian character
and notes the unsettling parallels of the history of old Russia
with today. Nigel Osborne's comparison of the Rimsky-Korsakov and
Mussorgsky versions highlights their individual qualities.

Mussorgsky's last opera dramatizes the conspiracy of Prince
Khovansky against Tsar Peter the Great, and the epic ends with the
exile, murder and suicide of all the power groups of old Russia.
When Musorgsky died in 1881, it was unfinished, and Rimsky-Korsakov
completed it; Ravel and Stravinsky made another version for
Diaghilev in 1911; in 1959 Shostakovich went back to the original
and rediscovered a masterpiece. Caryl Emerson offers a provocative
reading of Mussorgsky's achievement. Gerard McBurney relates the
non-European inspiration in the score to Mussorgsky's conception of
history, while Rosamund Bartlett describes the cultural impetus for
his historical vision. Contents: Apocalypse Then, Now, and (for Us)
Never: Reflections on Musorgsky's Other Historical Opera, Caryl
Emerson; Musorgsky's Music of Time, Gerard McBurney;
'Khovanshchina' in Context, Rosamund Bartlett; Khovanshchina:
Libretto by Modest Musorgsky; The Khovansky Affair: English
translation by Carol Borah Palca.
