 | Anton Grigorevich Rubinstein (Антон Григорьевич Рубинштейн) (November 28, 1829 – November 20, 1894) was a Russian pianist, composer and conductor. |
 | Rubinstein was born to Jewish parents in Vikhvatinets (now in Transnistria, Republic of Moldova). |
 | Rubinstein's music demonstrates none of the nationalism of The Five, and in fact he spoke out against Russian nationalism, leading to arguments with Mily Balakirev and others who felt that his establishment of a Conservatory in St. Petersburg would damage Russian musical traditions. |
