Scherzo in A-flat major (Borodin)

The first 6 bars of Borodin's Scherzo in A-flat major

Alexander Borodin's Scherzo in A-flat major is a lively piece written in 1885, while Borodin was in Belgium for an early performance of his then incomplete opera Prince Igor.[1] It was originally written for solo piano, but in 1889 Alexander Glazunov orchestrated it, along with the Petite Suite.[2] Borodin dedicated the piece to Théodore Jadoul, who made a four-hand piano arrangement of it.[3]
