Composed between 1894 and 1895, Rimsky-Korsakov based his opera on a short story, "Christmas Eve", from Nikolai Gogol's 1832 collection Evenings on a Farm Near Dikanka. [2] The story had been used as the basis for an opera at least three times previously, including for Tchaikovsky's Vakula the Smith (1874). [3]

The success of Rimsky-Korsakov's Christmas Eve encouraged him to complete an opera approximately every 18 months between 1893 and 1908 — a total of 11 during this period. [89] He also started and abandoned another draft of his treatise on orchestration, [73] but made a third attempt and almost finished it in the last four years of his life.

Unlike the Liszt concertos, the Rimsky-Korsakov concerto is monothematic. Rimsky-Korsakov took this theme from No. 18 of Balakirev's collection of folk songs, published in 1866. He puts this song through thematic metamorphosis, again in a Lisztian manner, changing its character and style as the piece progresses.
