In the Steppes of Central Asia

Borodin's In the Steppes of Central Asia musically portrays a caravan journeying through the Caucasus, safeguarded by Russian troops. Premiering in St. Petersburg in 1880, the piece evolves from a quiet beginning to a powerful climax, intertwining Russian and Asian themes. It concludes with the themes fading as the caravan vanishes into the distance. This newly engraved edition by Richard W. Sargeant, Jr. highlights the work's brilliance, catering to both professional and amateur musicians.
