Mikhail Mikhailovich Ippolitov-Ivanov (November 19, 1859 - January 28, 1935) was a Russian composer, conductor and teacher.
He was born in Gatchina and studied under Nikolai Rimsky-Korsakov at the Moscow Conservatory. Ippolitov-Ivanov himself taught at the conservatory form 1893 and was its director from 1905 to 1922. His pupils included Reinhold Gliere and Sergey Vasilenko. He died in Moscow.
Ippolitov-Ivanov's works include operas, orchestral music, chamber music and a large number of songs. His style is similar to that of his teacher Rimsky-Korsakov. With the exception of his orchestral suite Caucasian Sketches (1894), which include the much-excerpted "Procession of the Sardar", his music is very rarely heard today.
As well as his entirely original works, Ippolitov-Ivanov completed Modest Mussorgsky's opera The Marriage.
