Glinka in 1856

Mikhail Ivanovich Glinka (Russian: Михаил Иванович Глинка^{[note 1]}, tr. Mikhaíl Ivánovich Glínka; 1 June [O.S. 20 May] 1804 – 15 February  [O.S. 3 February] 1857) was the first Russian composer to gain wide recognition within his own country, and is often regarded as the fountainhead of Russian classical music.^[1] Glinka's compositions were an important influence on future Russian composers, notably the members of The Five, who took Glinka's lead and produced a distinctive Russian style of music.
