Description: Mikhail Ivanovich Glinka Memoirs, translated from Russian to English by Richard B. Mudge. First Edition, published in 1963 by the University of Oklahoma Press.Hardcover with dust jacket. 264 pages. From the inside flap of the dust cover: "Two years before his death in 1857, M.I. Glinka put down in words the story of his remarkable life. His memoirs were first published in 1870 in the Russian journal Russkaya Starina. Richard B. Mudge has masterfully translated Glinka's own story of his early interest in Russian folk music, progressing through his travels in Italy, Germany, Spain, Poland, and France. Although thoroughly exposed to the music of these countries, Glinka never lost his intense feeling for and love of Russian national themes.In 1836, Glinka saw his first operatic effort...produced in St Petersburg...changed the course of Glinka's life...We are treated to such highlights as Glinka's appointment as imperial Kapellmeister of the St Petersburg Opera...his friendships with...Berlioz, the writer Kukolnik, the painter Brullov, the singer Petrova, and the actor Karatygin.That Glinka was a genius is now unmistakable...We are given the full personal assessment of Glinka's songs and music as the composer himself discusses their creation."
