Alexander Borodin compositions sheet music and chords

Alexander Porfiryevich Borodin (Russian: Алекса́ндр Порфи́рьевич Бороди́н (12 November 1833 – 27 February 1887) was a Russian Romantic composer of Georgian-Russian origin who was a doctor and chemist by profession and made important early contributions to the field of organic chemistry. Although he is better known today as a composer, during his lifetime, he regarded medicine and science as his primary occupations, only pursuing music and composition in his spare time or when he was ill. Musically, he was one of the prominent 19th-century composers known as The Mighty Handful, a group dedicated to producing a uniquely Russian kind of classical music, rather than imitating earlier Western European models.
