Explanation:
1. Nationalism in music relates to the use of musical material or motifs that are typical to a country, region or ethnicity and recognized as national or regional; like the direct use of folkloric music and melodies, rhythms and harmonies inspired by them, and the use of folklore as a conceptual, esthetic or ideological basis.
2. Igor Stravinsky´s first major period is called the "Russian Period", and began with 3 ballets he composed for Diaghilev. Some characteristics they share is that they are scored for extremely large orchestras, they use Russian folk themes and motifs, and are influenced by the Rimsky-Korsakov imaginative scoring and instrumentation.
3. Conducting only became a specialized form of musical activity in the early XIX century. At that time, the composer-conductor type of musician arose, with musicians like Carl Maria von Weber, Hector Berlioz and Richard Wagner, who assumed full control of the performance and brought a single minded creative viewpoint that was a common sign of the XIX century period in music.
