XII Tenets of the "New School. " Great Modern Composers of the delightful Scheherezade suite and of many operas; Modeste Petrovich Moussorg- sky (1839-1886), the undisciplined genius who wrote the extraordinarily powerful opera, Boris Godounoff; Alexander Borodine (1834- 1887), chemist, inventor, philanthropist, as well as composer of one of the finest of mod- ern symphonies, unduly neglected; and Cesar Cui (1835-.. ), military engineer and critic. Cui has formulated the tenets of the "New Scho...ol, " so far as concerns operatic compo- sition, in which all Russian composers, includ- ing Tscha'ikowsky, have been especially inter- ested, as follows : "i. Commonplaces are as unbearable in the opera as in symphonic music.
"2. The music must follow the dramatic sit- uation, step by step, whence greater liberty and diversity of forms.
"3. The book must be, as far as possible, a literary and poetic work, and must not be disfigured by the music. On the contrary, the music, closely bound to the text, constituting with it a unity, must draw from it a new and double force of expression, this exacting sup- ple and irreproachable declamation.
