“Enjoy a selection of piano miniatures by well - and less well - known composers of the 19th century Russia,” offers Dr. Larkin. “The concert begins with Glinka and marches through the century, tracing the development of musical language in St. Petersburg and Moscow - the two epicenters of culture to the east of the Baltic Sea."
