==Musical analysis== Central to the opera is the way the Russians are distinguished from the Polovtsians through melodic characterization. While Borodin uses features of Russian folk music to represent his compatriots, he uses [[chromaticism]], [[melisma]]s and [[appoggiaturas]]—among other techniques—represent their 'heathen' opponents. These methods had already been used by [[Mikhail Glinka|Glinka]] and others to portray [[Orientalism]] in Russian music.<ref>[http://www.briliantclassics.com/article/b/borodin-prince-igor Article title]{{Dead link|date=December 2019 |bot=InternetArchiveBot |fix-attempted=yes }}</ref>
