Nadezhda Rimskaya-Korsakova
Nadezhda Nikolayevna Rimskaya- Korsakova( née Purgold( October 19( N.S. October 31), 1848 May 24, 1919) was a Russian pianist and composer as well as the wife of composer Nikolai Rimsky- Korsakov.
She was also the mother of Russian musicologist Andrey Rimsky- Korsakov.
Nikolai Rimsky-Korsakov
Nikolai Andreyevich Rimsky-Korsakov  was a Russian composer, and a member of the group of composers known as The Five.
He was a master of orchestration.
His best-known orchestral compositions—"Capriccio Espagnol", the "Russian Easter Festival Overture", and the symphonic suite "Scheherazade"—are staples of the classical music repertoire, along with suites and excerpts from some of his 15 operas.
"Scheherazade" is an example of his frequent use of fairy-tale and folk subjects.
Rimsky-Korsakov believed in developing a nationalistic style of classical music, as did his fellow-composer Mily Balakirev and the critic Vladimir Stasov.
This style employed Russian folk song and lore along with exotic harmonic, melodic and rhythmic elements in a practice known as musical orientalism, and eschewed traditional Western compositional methods.
Rimsky-Korsakov appreciated Western musical techniques after he became a professor of musical composition, harmony, and orchestration at the Saint Petersburg Conservatory in 1871.
He undertook a rigorous three-year program of self-education and became a master of Western methods, incorporating them alongside the influences of Mikhail Glinka and fellow members of The Five.
Rimsky-Korsakov's techniques of composition and orchestration were further enriched by his exposure to the works of Richard Wagner.
For much of his life, Rimsky-Korsakov combined his composition and teaching with a career in the Russian military—at first as an officer in the Imperial Russian Navy, then as the civilian Inspector of Naval Bands.
He wrote that he developed a passion for the ocean in childhood from reading books and hearing of his older brother's exploits in the navy.
This love of the sea may have influenced him to write two of his best-known orchestral works, the musical tableau "Sadko" (not to be confused with his later opera of the same name) and "Scheherazade".
As Inspector of Naval Bands, Rimsky-Korsakov expanded his knowledge of woodwind and brass playing, which enhanced his abilities in orchestration.
He passed this knowledge to his students, and also posthumously through a textbook on orchestration that was completed by his son-in-law, Maximilian Steinberg.
Rimsky-Korsakov left a considerable body of original Russian nationalist compositions.
He prepared works by The Five for performance, which brought them into the active classical repertoire (although there is controversy over his editing of the works of Modest Mussorgsky), and shaped a generation of younger composers and musicians during his decades as an educator.
Rimsky-Korsakov is therefore considered "the main architect" of what the classical-music public considers the "Russian style" of composition.
His influence on younger composers was especially important, as he served as a transitional figure between the autodidactism exemplified by Glinka and The Five, and professionally trained composers which would become the norm in Russia by the closing years of the 19th century.
While Rimsky-Korsakov's style was based on those of Glinka, Balakirev, Hector Berlioz, Franz Liszt and, for a brief period, Wagner, he "transmitted this style directly to two generations of Russian composers" and influenced non-Russian composers including Maurice Ravel, Claude Debussy, Paul Dukas, and Ottorino Respighi.
Voin Rimsky-Korsakov
Voin Andreyevich Rimsky- Korsakov( 1822–1871) was a Russian navigator, hydrographer and geographer.
He was an elder brother of composer and conductor Nikolai Rimsky- Korsakov.
Rimsky- Korsakov was born in 1822 into a family of Russian nobility and graduated from the School for Mathematical and Navigational Sciences in Saint Petersburg.
He served as a navy officer and commander of the schooner" Vostok" in the flotilla under the administration of Admiral Yevfimy Putyatin.
In the 1850s and 1860s Rimsky- Korsakov researched the area of the Sea of Japan near Ussuri Krai.
Later a small archipelago was named after him.
Rimsky- Korsakov died at the age of 49 in 1871 in Pisa and was buried in Saint Petersburg.
Nadezhda Rimskaya-Korsakova
Nadezhda Nikolayevna Rimskaya- Korsakova( née Purgold( October 19( N.S. October 31), 1848 May 24, 1919) was a Russian pianist and composer as well as the wife of composer Nikolai Rimsky- Korsakov.
She was also the mother of Russian musicologist Andrey Rimsky- Korsakov.
Andrey Rimsky-Korsakov
Andrey Nikolayevich Rimsky-Korsakov (Russian:
Андре́й Никола́евич Ри́мский-Ко́рсаков, "André Nikolájevich Rímskij-Kórsakov", October 17, 1878 – May 23, 1940) was a Russian musicologist and son of the Russian composers Nikolai Rimsky-Korsakov and Nadezhda Rimskaya-Korsakova.
He was encouraged in musical pursuits, playing cello in the family string quartet.
However he did not pursue music as a career until late in his life.
Rimsky-Korsakov studied philosophy at university and went on to teach the subject in gymnasiums until 1912, when he took the position of music correspondent for the Russian paper "Russkaya molva".
(Despite being a friend of Igor Stravinsky, among Rimsky-Korsakov's writings for that publication include a scathing review of "The Rite of Spring".)
He then went on to become founding editor of the first Russian music magazine, "Muzïkal'nïy sovremennik" (1915–17), which covered musicological study as well as concerts.
After the demise of "Muzïkal'nïy sovremennik", Rimsky-Korsakov headed the music department of the Leningrad Saltïkov-Shchedrin Public Library (though he contributed to three issues of the magazine's successor, which began publication in 1922) and taught music theory and music history at Leningrad University as well as the Institute of Historical Studies.
Many of Rimsky-Korsakov's more notable efforts were on behalf of his father's work, including the authorship of a five-volume study of his life and work and the establishing of a museum for the late composer.
He was married to the composer Yuliya Veysberg.
Andrey Vilkitsky
Andrey Ippolitovich Vilkitsky  was a Russian hydrographer and surveyor.
He was born in the Minsk Governorate.
His son, Boris Vilkitsky followed up his father's work; the Vilkitsky Islands are named after him.
Emanuel Glicen Romano
Emanuel Glicen Romano or Emanuel Glicenstein( 1897 – 1984) was a painter born in Italy.
He emigrated to America and spent some time in Safed in Israel.
where he organised a museum for his father's work.
Ivan Rimsky-Korsakov
Ivan Nikolajevich Rimsky- Korsakov, né" Korsav"( 29 June 1754 in Saint Petersburg, Russian Empire – 31 July 1831 in Saint Petersburg, Russian Empire) was a Russian courtier and lover of Catherine the Great from 1778 to 1779.
He was a member of the same family which produced composer Nikolai Rimsky- Korsakov.
Mikhail Tushmalov
Mikhail Tushmalov "(Tushmalishvili, Georgian:თუშმალიშვილი)" (1861 - 1896) was a Russian Georgian opera conductor who held posts in Warsaw and Tiflis (Tbilisi).
He died in what is now the nation of Georgia.
Tushmalov is most widely discussed today as the first person to have prepared an orchestral version of Modest Mussorgsky's 1874 piano suite "Pictures at an Exhibition".
Tushmalov's version sets an abridged version of the piece.
It may have been completed as early as 1886, when Tushmalov was a student of Rimsky-Korsakov.
Reports circulate that Rimsky-Korsakov sketched the beginning of his own orchestration of Mussorgsky's piece, but abandoned the project when Tushmalov took up the task.
The role possibly played by the teacher in shaping the orchestration by his student is not known.
The first performance of Tushmalov's orchestration was conducted by Rimsky-Korsakov in Saint Petersburg on November 30, 1891.
The score was published by Bessel the same year and issued in a corrected edition sometime after Tushmalov's death.
Tushmalov's orchestration has in recent years been reprinted by Kalmus.
Tushmalov's version of Mussorgsky's score is one of the least complete, as it omits 'Gnomus', 'Tuileries' and 'Bydlo' together with all the 'Promenades' except the fifth—which it puts in place of the first.
Tushmalov's score is often described as dark and restrained in colour, and thus more authentically 'Russian' in its approach to the score than the later, more virtuosic orchestration by Ravel.
Attributions for Tushmalov's setting often read 'Tushmalov/Rimsky-Korsakov', even though it is not established that his teacher contributed.
Tushmalov's version appears on audio in a performance by Mark Andreae and the Munich Philharmonic Orchestra.
The attribution reads 'Tushmalov/Rimsky-Korsakov' for reasons that go unexplained in this specific case, though perhaps it is due to the story that Rimsky-Korsakov made edits to the Tushmalov orchestration in preparing it for the premiere.
