César Cui
César Antonovich Cui was a Russian composer and music critic, member of the Belyayev circle and The Five – a group of composers gathered by the idea of creating a specifically Russian type of music. As an officer of the Imperial Russian Army, he rose to the rank of engineer-general, taught fortifications in Russian military academies and wrote a number of monographs on the subject.
