Composer
Mikhail Glinka
The first Russian composer to be recognised at home as Russian rather than an imitation of Italy, and the one everybody from Mussorgsky onwards started from.
Mikhail Ivanovich Glinka was the first Russian composer to gain wide recognition within his own country and is often regarded as the fountainhead of Russian classical music. His compositions were an important influence on other Russian composers, notably the members of The Five, who produced a distinctive Russian style of music.
