Mily Balakirev (2 January 1837 [O.S. 21 December 1836] – 29 May [O.S. 16 May] 1910) was a Russian composer, pianist, and conductor known today primarily for his work promoting musical nationalism and his encouragement of more famous Russian composers, notably Tchaikovsky. Balakirev is also the one who brought together the group of five Russian composers now known as The Mighty Handful (a.k.a. The Five). As a composer, however, Balakirev's slow pace in completing works deprived him of credit for his inventiveness. His oriental fantasy Islamey for solo piano remains popular among virtuosos.
