Born in St. Petersburg as the illegitimate son of the Russian Prince
Gedianov and his mistress, Madame Antonova, Borodin placed his love for
chemistry above that of music already from the age of eight. Although a
multilingual speaker and accomplished cellist by the time he was a
teenager, Borodin's enthusiastic interest in science brought him to
study organic chemistry in 1850. His medical career brought him much
respect and recognition throughout Europe and he only began his musical
career through the meeting and formation of "The Five", a group of
fellow composers and avid supporters of Russian Nationalism. As a
member of the group, Borodin, although the least involved, was possibly
the most musically talented of them and completed his first chamber
piece, the Piano Quintet in C minor, in 1862. He always claimed music
came second to chemistry, and was thus only a hobby.
On a grand scale, Borodin's music is distinctly romantic, while at the same time, patriotic and undeniably Russian. It is clearly apparent that devotion to chemical research took precedence over his musical work during his formative years. However, Borodin devoted himself wholly to furthering his musicianship in the last ten years of his life, thus making an indelible mark on the history of classical music of 19th century Russia. |
