I am an inventor of music.
~Igor Stravinsky
Igor Stravinsky, a Russian composer born in St Petersburg in 1882 was advised by Nicolai Rimsky-Korsakov to study music. Stravinsky studied with Rimsky-Korsakov until 1908 (when Rimsky died). Stravinsky composed The Firebird in 1910.

Something else I learned: The Firebird = AWESOME!
