 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.
