The Prelude of 1896 refers to Nikolai Rimsky-Korsakov's revisions to Modest Mussorgsky's opera Boris Godunov. Rimsky-Korsakov made significant alterations to the opera in 1896 and again in 1908, which were of vast scope and aimed at meeting his rigid academic standards. These revisions, although controversial, played a significant role in the history of the opera's performances. Rimsky-Korsakov was a prominent figure in Russian society and culture, known for his influence on musical education and for developing a Russian national identity.
