He also wrote many operas, excerpts from which are featured in this collection. Contents include the famous orchestral interlude The Flight of the Bumblebee as well as the suite from The Tale of Tsar Saltan.

Musicians and music lovers will appreciate this inexpensive collection of popular works, all reproduced from authoritative sources.
