    I'm surprised that Nicolai Rimsky Korsakoff (that was how we spelt in my day), who was Russian and known for developing and promotimg the concept of a quintessentially Russian style of musical composition, hasn't already been accused of "cultural misappropriation" by daring to compose music on purportedly Spanish themes.

    What gall! His music should be banned from ever being performed again, because it's a taunting insult to all peoples of Spanish descent, and a collosal affront to human dignity.
