: There are a lot of similarities between Stravinsky and Rimsky-Korsakov as Rimsky-Korsakov taught Stravinsky. : A prime example of this is in the last movement of the Golden erel Suite by Rimsky-Korsakov at Allegro alla Marcia compared with "The Games of the Rival Tribes" from the first half of the Rite of Spring. : These two pieces were only written seven or eight years apart and the Cello part and the melody on top are so similar, it's unbelievable. : Also, Rimsky-Korsakov taught Glazunov and Respighi, too. : The third movement from Glazunov's "From the Middle Ages", the troubador's serenade, is very similar to the opening of Respighi's Fountains of Rome. : The Firebird is more similar to Glazunov and Rimsky-Korsakov. : In the second or third movement from the firebird suite, there is the same Russian folk song as in Rimsk-Korsakov's Sinfonietta. : Anyway, there's a few of my observations. Stephen.
