Russian composers
Mighty Handful or Kutchka
Cellists

Composers that were born in Russia, or gained the Russian nationality.

Five influential Russian composers promoting Russian traditional music as opposed to the increasing Western European influences. The Russian "Kutchka" means "handful". Composer Balakirev took leadership, with Cui, Borodin, Mussorgsky and Rimsky-Korsakov as other members.

Composers who were also play the cello and as such performed their own or other composer's compositions.
