* Composer's comment concerning the score: "The symphonic ballet "The Zaporozhe
Cossaks" presents an illustration of a famous
historical episode of the 17th century, as the warlike Cossacks of the
Zaporozhe Setschi [self-governed organization of the Ukrainian Cossacks in the
16-18th year] under the Kosch-Ataman Ivan Dmitrijevich Serko [Kosch is a camp
of the Zaporozhe Cossacks] responded with a mocking letter to a terrible
letter from the Turkish sultan Mahmout IV. , in which he demanded, that they
should subordinate to his rule. The symphonic ballet has the following
movements: Prelude --. Writing and reading out loud the letter -- . Laughter
scene -- . Dance and great cheerfulness -- ". |
