Polovtsian Dances
Emile Prudent introduced it to Central Europe. Carl Czerny made a four-hand arrangement of the piece, and Georges Bizet kept it in his repertoire for years, as well as the great pianists Józef Wieniawski and Alfred Jaëll. Moreover, the piece was actually played on the cello by Jacques Offenbach, while the French violinist Léon Reynier rescore it for his instrument, and even a hand-written copy of the piece was found in Alexander Borodin's personal belongings by the Soviet mathematician and musicologist Serge Dianin, which some scholars insist was used as a model for his Polovtsian Dances in his opera "Prince Igor."
