A clavier of author's edition of "Prince Igor" by A. P. Borodin is published

In April 2011 the world's premiere of author's edition of "Prince Igor" was held by "Helikon-opera". The concert performance was held on stage of Moscow International House of Music.

Awaiting for the reconstruction of the main building of "Helikon-opera" where it would be possible to stage "Prince Igor", a musicologist Anna Bulycheva prepared author's edition for publishing. Now it is possible to see which scenes were created by Borodin and which were not created by him. It is possible to see how he had seen the Polovtsian people, which key Konchakovna's aria has, how many arias sing Prince Igor and how seditious Vladimir Galitsky is. Also it is possible to see which changes were made by Rimsky-Korsakov and Glazunov.

The clavier is published by Moscow "Classica-XXI" publishing house with the financial support of Russian Humanitarian Scientific Fund.
