Nikolai Andrejewitsch Rimski-Korsakow Book order
March 6, 1844 – June 20, 1908
Nikolai Rimsky-Korsakov was a master of orchestration and a proponent of a distinctive nationalistic Russian musical style, drawing from folk songs and lore. While initially advocating for a style that eschewed Western compositional methods, he later became adept in Western techniques after joining the conservatory. He skillfully incorporated exotic harmonic and melodic elements, frequently turning to fairy tale and folk subjects. His works, including symphonic suites and operas, remain staples of the classical repertoire.

This collection for advanced solo piano contains 30 pieces (individually or in suites) by Alexander Borodin (1833-1877), Nikolay Rimsky-Korsakov (1844-1908), and Cesar Cui (1835-1918), members of the Russian Moguchaya Kuchka ("The Five"). The pieces include Borodin's seven-movement Petite Suite and Scherzo, Rimsky- Korsakov's Six Variations on a Theme by Bach and other works, and Cui's suite In Argentau. One of the main features of this music is its nationalism, drawing on Russian religious and folk music and incorporating the spirit and style of Romanticism.
