 He is known for his symphonies of two of his own poems called "Legend About Violinist" and "Pushkin".

Rusalka (Russian: Руса́лка ) is an opera in four acts, six tableaux, by Alexander Dargomyzhsky, composed during 1848-1855.
 The Russian libretto was adapted by the composer from Pushkin's incomplete dramatic poem of the same name.
 It premiered on 4 May 1856 (Old Style) at the Theatre-circus, conducted by Konstantin Lyadov (father of Anatoly Lyadov), choreographed by Marius Petipa and Nikolay Goltz, but was badly received predominantly by the aristocracy.
Anatoly Konstantinovich Lyadov or Liadov (Russian: Анато́лий Константи́нович Ля́дов ; May 12 [O.S. April 30] 1855 August 28 [O.S. August 15] 1914 ) was a Russian composer, teacher and conductor.
The Russo-Turkish War of 1877–78 (Turkish: "93 Harbi ('93 War)" ) was a conflict between the Ottoman Empire and the Eastern Orthodox coalition led by the Russian Empire and composed of Bulgaria, Romania, Serbia, and Montenegro.
 Fought in the Balkans and in the Caucasus, it originated in emerging 19th-century Balkan nationalism.
 Additional factors included Russian hopes of recovering territorial losses suffered during the Crimean War, re-establishing itself in the Black Sea and supporting the political movement attempting to free Balkan nations from the Ottoman Empire.
Alexander Glazunov composed his Symphony No. 3 in D major, Op.
 33, in 1890, and it was published by 1892 by the Leipzig firm owned by Mitrofan Belyayev.
 The symphony is dedicated to Pyotr Ilyich Tchaikovsky and was first performed in St. Petersburg in December 1890 under the baton of Anatoly Lyadov.
 The symphony is considered a transitional work, with Glazunov largely eschewing the influences of Balakirev, Borodin, and Rimsky-Korsakov inherent in his earlier symphonies for the newer influences of Tchaikovsky and Wagner.
 Because of this change, the Third has been called the "anti-kuchkist" symphony in Glazunov's output ("kuchkist" from "kuchka", the shortened Russian name for the nationalist music group The Five).
 He would tone down these new influences in his subsequent symphonies as he strove for an eclectic mature style.
 The Third also shows a greater depth of expression, most evident in the chromatic turns of its third movement, reminiscent of Wagner's opera "Tristan und Isolde".
Mitrofan Petrovich Belyayev (Russian: Митрофа́н Петро́вич Беля́ев ; old style 10/22 February 1836, St. Petersburg22 December 1903/ 4 January 1904) was an Imperial Russian music publisher, outstanding philanthropist, and the owner of a large wood dealership enterprise in Russia.
 He was also the founder of the Belyayev circle, a society of musicians in Russia whose members included Nikolai Rimsky-Korsakov, Alexander Glazunov and Anatoly Lyadov.
 His surname is often transliterated as "Belaieff" or "Belayev".
 In 1886 the important Russian painter Ilya Repin made a portrait of Belyayev.
