Origins Of Borodin
7 Answers
Are there any websites where I could investigate the musical origins of some of Borodin's works, specifically the 3rd movement in d for strings.
I know that he 'borrowed' (improved, lifted, whatever) many of his themes from Russian folk music, and I was wondering about the origins of that particular piece.

I can find nothing to suggest that Borodin 'borrowed' the theme, despite checking out the sources below where I would have expected to find any such reference:
https:/ /en.wik ipedia. org/wik i/Strin g_Quart et_No._ 2_(Boro din)#Th ird_mov ement
https:/ /blogs. loc.gov /music/ files/2 015/03/ Leipzig -SQ.03. 21.2015 .PROGRA M.PROOF pdf.pdf

If the theme sounds familiar though, it's probably because Lederer and Davis nicked it for ''And This Is My Beloved', in Kismet:

Classic FM itself is a good resource
