Nikolai Rimsky-Korsakov's Scheherazade, Op. 35 (1888) is one of the most dazzling and beloved orchestral works of the Romantic era. It’s a symphonic suite in four movements inspired by the tales of The One Thousand and One Nights (a.k.a. Arabian Nights), showcasing Rimsky-Korsakov’s mastery of orchestration, exotic color, and storytelling through music.
