Abstract
The subject of this article is the composing and conducting activity of Caesar Pugni in the summer gardens of St. Petersburg and Moscow, which has been completely unknown until now. For the first time, this side of his multifaceted artistic activity is considered: organizing and compiling concert programs and composing. In his concert work, Pugni sought to popularize the works by Russian composers, primarily by M. I. Glinka. Puni was one of the first composers to respond to the events of the Crimean War of 1853–1856. Among his works on the "Crimean" theme, a symphonic poem in three parts "June 6, 1855 under the walls of Sevastopol" stands out. Based on music reviews, the article attempts to reconstruct the composer's intention. The given new information might help to recreate a complete picture of the work of Caesar Pugni, the greatest ballet composer of the 19th century.
