Composed during a lengthy visit to Warsaw in September of 1848, Glinka's Kamarinskaya, also known as a Fantasy on Two Russian Folksongs, incorporates two melodies the composer was familiar with since his childhood, as mentioned in his own Memoirs: Just by chance I discovered a relationship between the wedding song Iz-za Gor (From beyond the Mountain), which I heard in the countryside and the dancing tune Kamarinskaya, which everyone knows. My fantasy ran high and wrote and orchestral work called Wedding Song and Dance Song, which was subsequently changed to Kamarinskaya.Even though the work was ultimately titled after the dancing tune, it actually begins with the wedding song Iz-za Gor, Gor Vysokiikh (From beyond the Mountain, the High Mountain). The Kamarinskaya dancing song, a type of dancing tune known as naigrysh which features a melody repeated over a drone until the dancers exhaust themselves, does not appear until measure 53. Despite the late introduction, the dancing tune is repeated no less than 72 times. With Glinka's near-endless capacity for creative variation and brilliant orchestration, the repetition of a simple dance tune has been transformed into an orchestral fireworks display that has thrilled audiences for more than 160 years.

A great Russian composer Michael Ivanovich Glinka was a founder of Russian vocal school, a well-known teacher of singing, a chapel-master of a chapel folk. Doing practical work with singers, Glinka was deeply interested in methodology of vocal training and strived to systemize his rich pedagogical experience.Two vocal-pedagogical works by M.I. Glinka: "Exercises for voice development, methodical explanations to them and vocalization-solfeggio" and "Vocal school for soprano" are presented in this book for the first time.Glinka formulated the method of voice training - "first to refine on natural tones", that is to learn and strengthen the notes of midrange and then to add the notes of close registers to them. The method was later called "concentric". It is effective just as for primary voice strengthening and registers' adjustment so for the support of the optimal singing form as everyday exercises.The given book is intended for teachers, students, who learn professional singing and also for a wide range of singing fans.

In his piano works M.I. Glinka tried to cling to the pianistic tradition of the period before Liszt, avoiding the unnecessary virtuosity and heaviness of a texture. Like many Russian composers at the turn of the 18th and 19th centuries, Glinka often turned to the genre of piano variations. The choice of themes that formed the basis of the variations cycle is wide: the composer addressed himself not only to folk themes, but also to the famous melodies from the works by other authors (Cherubini, Bellini, Mozart, Alyabyev).The collection will be interesting for musicians of various performing abilities, from students of music schools and colleges to concert pianists.

Mikhail Ivanovich Glinka (1804-1857) turned to genres of chamber vocal music throughout his career. His heritage includes more than 70 songs and romances. Among the poets whose lyrics Glinka addressed are not only ingenious names, but also the authors whose names are not forgotten only thanks to the composer's romances.The edition is addressed to performers and lovers of vocal music.
