Abstract
This work continues a series of articles about the composer Anton Eichenwald, published in the “Tatarica” Journal in 2022-2023: “Symphony Concert of Oriental Music in Kazan in 1923” (2022, No. 1), “Concerts of Oriental Music” in Paris (2022, No. 2), “Anton Eichenwald and the Kazan Cabinet of Musical Folklore” (2023, No. 1). Based on the archival materials, our study systematizes information on the history of creation and production of his opera “The Steppe”. We prove that the composer A. Eichenwald undertook this work in order to give a new life to his arrangements of Tatar folk songs.
