Alexander Borodin

Scherzo in A flat major

Composed 1885

Keyboard

Alexander Borodin's Scherzo in A♭ major is a lively piece written in 1885, while Borodin was in Belgium for an early performance of his then incomplete opera Prince Igor. It was originally written for solo piano, but in 1889 Alexander Glazunov orchestrated it, along with the Petite Suite. Borodin dedicated the piece to Théodore Jadoul, who made a four-hand piano arrangement of it.
