Igor Stravinsky studied law and philosophy at St. Petersburg University, from which he graduated in 1905. While studying, he showed some of his musical compositions to composer Nikolay Rimsky-Korsakov, who was sufficiently impressed to take Stravinsky as a private pupil while advising him not to enter the conservatory for conventional academic training.
