All 12 romances included in the cycle were written by Glinka in the summer of 1840. Each of the 12 romances in its own way reflects the theme of wanderings and wanderings, painting in front of the listener paintings of Russian nature and distant countries - Spain, Italy, Palestine. Each of them is individual in concept and has its own type of structure: stanza, three-part, variational, etc. All romances are dedicated to Glinka’s close friends and acquaintances, including the author of the words, the poet Nestor Kukolnik, with whom Glinka has maintained close friendly relations for a long time.
