Nikolai Rimsky-Korsakov (1844 - 1908) was a Russian composer and professor. He is noted for his predilection for folk and fairy-tale subjects. Rimsky-Korsakov with Mili Balakirev, Aleksandr Borodín, Modest Músorgski and César Cui formed the grup known as The Five. In 1868, he met Pyotr Ilyich Tchaikovsky.

In July 1872, Rimsky-Korsakov married Nadezhda Purgold.
