Rimsky-Korsakovs Scheherazade
This work opens many doors to wonderful and exciting musical study. It is a fine example of Orientalism and our perception of \u201cthe other\u201d. Jean-Jacques van Vlasselaer and Marjolaine Fournier talk about who Rimsky-Korsakov was, his 19th-century influences from Mendelssohn to Wagner, and his contributions to the music of the 20th century.
