This composer's Six Studies for Contralto were written for his Jewish lover, whom he left after his immigration papers did not allow him to accompany her to Berlin.
This composer's Six Studies for Contralto were written for his Jewish lover, whom he left after his immigration papers did not allow him to accompany her to Berlin. In one of his works, which includes the "banquet scene" overture, Svetozar pledges half his kingdom to a title character. This composer's guitarist friend inspired him to write (*) Jota (HO-tuh) Aragonesa and a later piece called Summer Night in Madrid. In an opera by him, an evil dwarf sorcerer named Chernomor abducts a bride. Another of this man's operas features a hero who leads an invading Polish army astray, Ivan Susanin. For 10 points, name this composer of A Life for the Tzar and Ruslan and Ludmilla.
