There Was \ wide difference

Ghnka was raised in surround

negligible. Yet because he was q
rare genius. his small output FORM
ed the basis for Russian music
of the future.
His two greatest works. both
operate, were "A Life for the
Car" first presented in 1886, a
red letter day in the history of
Russian music, and Russian and
Ludmilla. The first is a revolu-
tionary masterpiece of dramatic
unity, the second represents a
great forward step in music de-
velopment. Both are extremely ma
tionalistic In subject, with the
music based on Russian folk
tunes.
In discussing Glinka's musical
genius Russians were, and are to-
day. very apt TO go overheard in
their enthusiasm. even ranking
him as the greatest composer of all
time. Whether or not this is true.
the fact remains that his musical
innovations are quite astonishing.
Glinka WAS the founder Of
