Description

Rimsky-Korsakov, Nikolai. Autograph musical quotation signed, being three measures from the symphonic suite Scheherazade, (2.75 x 4.25 in.; 70 x 108 mm.), St. Petersburg, 30 December 1907; permanently mounted on cardstock/matting material with a color reproduction of a painting of the composer. A fine quotation from the symphonic suite Scheherazade. Rimsky-Korsakov's Scheherazade, Op. 35, is a symphonic poem composed by Nikolai Rimsky-Korsakov in 1888. Based on One Thousand and One Nights, sometimes known as The Arabian Nights, this orchestral work is perhaps the finest example of his colorful and imaginative orchestration. Claude Debussy paid Scheherazade the highest compliment by using a passage from its second movement, virtually unaltered, in both La Mer and Daphnis et Chloe. It is considered Rimsky-Korsakov's most popular work.
