 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.
