Nikolai Andreyevich Rimsky-Korsakov was a Russian composer. One of his most famous pieces is “Flight of the Bumblebee” composed in 1899–1900. The music comes from Rimsky-Korsakov’s opera The Tale of Tsar Saltan. In the story, a magic swan turns the prince into a bumblebee so that he can visit Tsar Saltan without being seen. Yet, despite its operatic origins, the "Flight of the Bumblebee" has become universally renowned as a stand-alone instrumental showpiece.
