Photos of Rimsky-Korsakov's gravestone at the
Tikhvin Cemetery,
Alexander Nevsky Monastery,
St Petersburg, Russia
Taken 15 July 2002 ©Kim Headlee
This gravestone stands in gentle contrast to the black marble used for other composers in the same cemetery, such as Tchaikovsky, Borodin, Mussorgsky and Glinka.

This angle shows the plaque for Nicolai's wife, who appears to have survived him by 11 years. Many thanks to Lyle Neff at the University of Delaware for deciphering her name, Nadezhda Nikolaevna (maiden name Purgol'd). For a larger image, click here (348 Kb).
As an Amazon.com associate, I am in the process of making available reference works and music of my great-great-grand-uncle, Russian composer Nicolai Rimsky-Korsakov.

Attention, Musical Score Collectors
After having received numerous requests for finding copies of Rimsky-Korsakov's musical scores, I have located a fantastic source: Elibron.
This site features more than 40,000 musical scores, including many of Rimsky-Korsakov's works. Most of them are facsimile reprints, but as such they are quite inexpensive (the operas, for example, fall in the $8-$12 range for vocal-piano scores), and Elibron offers preview pages so you can judge the facsimile quality for yourself.
Direct links to Elibron's list of available Rimsky-Korsakov works can be found HERE (items 1-50) and HERE (items 51-53, and counting).
I get nothing for directing you to this site except the pleasure of helping a fellow Rimsky-Korsakov fan!
