\nA member, with Mussorsgky, Cui, Rimsky-Korsakov and Balakirev of the group of russian composers known as The Five<\/em>, Alexander Borodin has gone down in history as a great composer, although this was not his profession. A doctor of medicine, Borodin was in fact a highly prestigious chemist and professor of Chemistry at the Academy of Medicine of Saint Petersburg. He investigated aldehydes, benzene derivatives, organic halides and amides. He is credited as the co-discoverer (with Wurtz, though independently) of the aldol reaction, a reaction between carbonilic compounds that affords new carbon-carbon bonds.<\/p>\n

As a musician, he stood out within the Russian romantic nationalist movement through his three symphonies, two string quartets, the symphonic poem In the Steppens of Central Asia<\/em> and the opera Prince Igor<\/em>. His Polovtsian Dances<\/em>, included in that opera, are often performed independently. Borodin was also a reputed cellist.<\/p>\n

Apparently, both musicians and chemists alike blamed him for staying for too long \u00abon the other side\u00bb.<\/p>\n

\nMiembro, con Mussorsgky, Cui, Rimsky-Korsakov y Balakirev del Club de los Cinco, Alexander Borodin (1833-1887) ha pasado a la historia como un gran compositor, a pesar de no ser \u00e9sta su profesi\u00f3n. Doctor en medicina, Borodin fue de hecho un qu\u00edmico de gran prestigio y profesor de esta disciplina en la Academia de Medicina de San Petersburgo. Investig\u00f3 sobre aldeh\u00eddos, derivados benc\u00e9nicos, haluros org\u00e1nicos y amidas. Fu\u00e9 codescubridor (junto a Wurtz, pero independientemente) de la reacci\u00f3n ald\u00f3lica, una reacci\u00f3n entre compuestos carbon\u00edlicos que permite crear enlaces carbono-carbono.<\/p>\n

Como m\u00fasico, Borodin destac\u00f3 dentro del movimiento rom\u00e1ntico nacionalista ruso por sus tres sinfon\u00edas, dos cuartetos de cuerda, el poema sinf\u00f3nico En las Estepas del Asia Central<\/em> y la \u00f3pera El Pr\u00edncipe Igor<\/em>. Sus Danzas Polovtsianas<\/em>, parte de la \u00f3pera mencionada, son ejecutadas a menudo de forma independiente. Borodin fue, adem\u00e1s, un reputado chelista.<\/p>\n

Al parecer, m\u00fasicos y qu\u00edmicos le acusaron por igual de pasar demasiado tiempo \u00aben el otro lado\u00bb.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
