Nikolaï Rimski-Korsakov

Nikolaï Andreïevitch Rimski-Korsakov (in), born the March 18th 1844 with Tikhvine and dead the June 21st 1908 with Lioubensk, is a Compositeur and Russian theorist , one of the members of the Groupe of the Five also made up of Mili Balakirev, César Cui, Alexandre Borodine, and Modeste Moussorgski.

He becomes inspector of the military orchestras of the marine. Its treaty Éléments of orchestration is published in 1913. It is on several occasions allowed “to re-examine”, i.e. to modify, certain unfinished partitions of Moussorgski or Borodine according to its theories of composition. It receives from them not very flattering labels like that of “academic”. That would be to a little quickly forget its great qualities of orchestrator and symphonist.

He dies of a crisis of angina pectoris, little time after an ultimate meeting with Igor Stravinski. Its most known works of the general public remain its Vol of the bumblebee (extracted from its opera the tales of the Tsar Saltan ) and Shéhérazade .
