Nikolai Rimsky-Korsakov fu un maestro dell'orchestrazione e un sostenitore di uno stile musicale nazionale russo distintivo, ispirato a canti popolari e folklore. Sebbene inizialmente sostenesse uno stile che evitava i metodi compositivi occidentali, in seguito divenne esperto nelle tecniche occidentali dopo essersi unito al conservatorio. Incorporò abilmente elementi armonici e melodici esotici, rivolgendosi frequentemente a temi di fiabe e folklore. Le sue opere, incluse suite sinfoniche e opere, rimangono pietre miliari del repertorio classico.
