Scheherazade, an orchestral suite by Russian composer Nikolay Rimsky-Korsakov,​​​​​​​was inspired by the collection of largely Middle Eastern and Indian tales known as The Thousand and One Nights (or The Arabian Nights). The piece evokes an image of Scheherazade (Shahrazad), the young wife of the sultan Schahriar (Shahryar), telling tales to her husband to forestall his plan to kill her. Colourful and highly varied in mood, the work has a recurring violin solo that represents Scheherazade herself and a deep, ponderous theme that corresponds to the sultan. The composition was completed in 1888, and it premiered on Nov. 3 of that year, in Saint Petersburg, with the composer himself conducting. (from Brittanica)

Scheherazade! Scheherazade!
