Rimsky-Korsakov described the creation of Sheherazade in this way: “In the middle of the winter [of 1888], engrossed as I was in my work on Prince Igor and other things, I conceived the idea of writing an orchestral composition on the subject of certain episodes from Scheherazade.” The stories on which he based his orchestral work were taken from The Thousand and One Nights, a collection of millennium-old fantasy tales from Egypt, Persia, and India.

Music:
Nikolai Rimsky-Korsakov’s Scheherazade, Op. 35
The Story of the Kalandar Prince (excerpt)
