	Lesson Tutor: Biography of classical composer Alexander Borodin
		In 1863 Borodin married Ekaterina Protopopova, a brilliant young pianist.
		Alexander Borodin was a much loved and greatly respected figure, but heart attacks and a bout of cholera seriously undermined his health.
		Borodin's music is full of romantic charm and enticing melody, and much of it also rings with the pageantry and landscape of old Russia; of onion-domed churches, richly decorated icons, and the vastness of the land.

	Alexander Borodin ~ Physician, Scientist, Composer, Educator, Feminist, Linguist
		Borodin was born in St. Petersburg in 1833 during the reign of Nikolai I. He was the illegitimate son of Georgian Prince Ghedeanov and the wife of an army doctor and evidently had the advantages of both nature and nurture.
		While Borodin pursued his studies of catalysts, precipitates and "the analogy of arsenical with phosphoric acid," another young chemist just one year Borodin's junior was laying the foundations of modern physical chemistry.
		In the final analysis, Borodin managed to write three respectable symphonies (one unfinished and another that has entered the standard repertoire), a pair of much admired string quartets, a popular tone picture of the Asian steppes and one of the great Russian national operas, Prince Igor, which was left unfinished at his death.

	Alexander Borodin - In the Steppes of Central Asia
		Alexander Borodin, the illegitimate son of an Armenian prince, devoted his life to pioneering research work in the chemistry of phosphoric acid.
		So it is not really remarkable that in some 25 years pursuing his hobby of composing, he should have completed only 3 orchestral works – far more astonishing is that he should have had time to write even these, and that his two completed symphonies and this symphonic poem should be of such exceptional quality.
		He encouraged his friends Borodin and Mussorgsky to do the same, constantly arranging for performances of their works, and then pestering them, copying orchestral parts and even finishing their orchestration for them until a work was finally ready for performance.
