Its first building was the house of Baroness Cherkasova on Vozdvizhenka. The beginning of the work of the Moscow Conservatory was widely noted by the Moscow intelligentsia.
Russian writers who spoke at the opening stressed that music is a universal and incomparable language accessible to any nationality. Those present expressed confidence that a music school will be created in Moscow better than European institutions. P. I. Tchaikovsky taught at the Conservatory from its first days until 1878.

- Only 12 cinemas in the world could show the animation film "Fantasia" at the time of its release in 1940. The fact is that according to Walt Disney, the sound had to come from 64 speakers, although in cinemas of that time, as a rule, there was only one speaker.
- After the release of the first film "Fantasia" artists from around the world began to offer dozens of new stories to continue the picture. For example, the great Spanish painter Salvador Dali put forward the idea of "baseball as a metaphor of life", which in the end was not accepted.
- Walt Disney has defined the art of animation as a journey into the realm of color, sound and movement. Thus, the music from Igor Stravinsky's ballet "The Firebird" inspired the inclusion of an excerpt in the film "Fantasia". This is a mythical story about life and renewal. In addition to Stravinsky's music, the film presents works by Beethoven, Tchaikovsky, Debussy and other recognized classics.
