It is not widely known that the popular composer Petr Ilyich Tchaikovsky was also a music critic, nor that he was professor of musical theory and harmony, instrumentation and free composition at the Moscow Conservatoire (1866-1878). His teaching there bore fruit in the form of the 'Manual for the practical mastering of harmony' printed in Moscow in 1872. This textbook played an important part in Russian musical training: it was written before the manuals by Rimsky-Korsakoff and Arensky and is thus the very first originally Russian book of harmonic theory, which may be of interest and of some use to readers today.

Nikolay Rimsky-Korsakovs Flight of the Bumblebee is one of those little orchestral interludes from operas, excerpts that have long since become immortal even while denying their origins; in this particular case, practically no one knows that this bravura piece comes from the opera The Tale of Czar Saltan. It did not take long before the Flight of the Bumblebee began showing up in many arrangements for solo instruments.Practically no one knows that this bravura piece comes from the opera The Tale of Czar Saltan by Nikolay Rimsky-Korsakov.

Nicolai Rimsky-Korsakov (1844-1908) came from an aristocratic family which lived near Novgorod. When he appeared to be musically gifted as a child, his parents did not hesitate one moment to map out a more honourable profession for him he was to make a career in the navy as a marine officer. Rimsky-Korsakov, however, succeeded in secretly studying the cello next to his studies at the Naval Academy at St Petersburg. Through his cello teacher he came into contact with the composer Balakirev. In this way he suddenly became a member of The Mighty Five (a group of Russian composers consisting of Balakirev, Moussorgsky, Cui, Borodin and Rimsky-Korsakovhimself). Rimsky-Korsakov turned out to be so talented that he even became a teacher at the St Petersburg Conservatory.‘Procession of the Nobles’ comes from the opera-ballet ‘Mlada’.The opera has a remarkable history, for between 1868 and 1870 five different composers worked on this project. The final result was never executed, however. Twenty years later Rimsky-Korsakov started work on the opera once more and composed his own version of Mlada.The theme of the opera is a tragic love story that is set in the early Middle Ages in a realm on the Baltic Sea. In ‘Processsion of the Nobles’ all the princesses of the country gather for a grand feast on the occasion of the summer holidays. Nicolai Rimsky-Korsakov (1844-1908) stamde uit een aristocratische familie in de buurt van Novgorod. Toen al spoedig bleek dat hij muzikaal erg begaafd was, waren zijn ouders er als de kippen bij om voor hem een eerbaarder loopbaanuit te stippelen: een carri?re als marine-officier was voor hem weggelegd. Rimsky-Korsakov zag echter kans naast zijn studies aan de Marineschool van Sint-Petersburg tevens in het geheim cello te studeren. Zijn clandestineleraar bracht hem in contact met Balakirev. Op die manier behoorde hij plots tot het ‘Machtige Hoopje’ (een groep Russische componisten bestaande uit: Balakirev, Moussorgsky, Cui, Borodin en Rimsky-Korsakov). Rimsky-Korsakovbleek zoveel talent te hebben dat hij zelfs leraar aan het conservatorium werd.‘Procession of the Nobles’ is afkomstig uit de ballet-opera ‘Mlada’. Deze opera heeft een merkwaardige geschiedenis. Tussen 1868 en1870 hebben vijf verschillende componisten aan dit project gewerkt. Het eindresultaat werd echter nooit uitgevoerd. Twintig jaar later heeft Rimsky-Korsakov de draad weer opgepakt en zijn eigen versie van Mlada gemaakt.Hetthema van de opera is een tragisch liefdesverhaal dat zich afspeelt in de vroege Middeleeuwen in een gebied aan de Baltische Zee. In 'Procession of the Nobles' verzamelen alle prinsessen van het land zich voor een groot feest tergelegenheid van de zomervakantie.
