 Modest Petrovich Mussorgsky
Mussorgsky's 'Pictures at the Exhibition' is arguably the epitome of all programmatic piano music in 19th Century.
However, Mussorgsky had no pretensions as a piano virtuoso, and he was described by Borodin as 'an elegant piano dilettante'.
Before he learned the basics in piano, he immersed himself at the piano improvising the music of Russian folk tunes that he hopelessly adored.

 Composer
Mussorgsky's 1874 suite Pictures at an Exhibition, a tribute to the versatile artist Hartman, has proved the most popular of all the composer's works, both in its original version for piano and in colourful orchestral versions, of which that by Maurice Ravel has proved the most generally acceptable.
Linked by Promenades for the visitor to the exhibition, Mussorgsky represents in music a varied collection, from the Market of Limoges and the Catacombs to the final Great Gate of Kiev, a monumental translation into music of an architectural design for a triumphal gateway.
The Song of the Flea, based on Goethe's Mephistophelean song in Faust, is a bass favourite.

As the accompanist of an aging singer, Darya Leonova, Mussorgsky departed on a lengthy concert tour of southern Russia and the Crimea.
This impoverished 25-year-old poet inspired Mussorgsky's two cycles of melancholy melodies, Bez solntsa (Sunless) and Pesni i plyaski smerti (Songs and Dances of Death).
At one of the musicales there, Mussorgsky discovered the music of the seminal Russian composer Mikhail Glinka, and this quickened his own Russophile inclinations.

 Modest Mussorgsky
Boris Godunov, in particular, was reshaped and repolished, with drastic cuts, wholesale rewriting and rescoring, insertion of new music and transposition of scenes.
During the earlier part of 1878 he seems to have led a more respectable life and his director at the ministry even allowed him leave for a three-month concert tour with the contralto Darya Leonova.
He persuaded Balakirev to give him lessons and composed songs and piano sonalas.

 Modest Mussorgsky - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Among his other works are a number of songs, including three song cycles: The Nursery (1872), Sunless (1874) and Songs and Dances of Death (1877).
Having produced a few songs and piano pieces, as well as a number of compositional exercises, under Balakirev's tutelage, Mussorgsky resigned his commission in 1858 after suffering a painful crisis.
Mussorgsky's flair for highly direct and memorable gestures has made his music popular with film and TV producers: the following examples could be multiplied many times over.

 Modest Petrovich Mussorgsky
Instead, characteristic elements from folk music are abstracted to synthesize an original style of melody based on formulaic figures, harmony derived from folk heterophony, and rhythm founded on the irregular patterns of certain folk genres.
Mussorgsky's music is distinctly Russian, yet it rarely relies directly on folk-song quotation.
(later, he worked for some years in the civil service.) By the early 1860s, the group of composers known as The FIVE--Balakirev, Cui, Mussorgsky, Aleksandr Borodin, and Nikolai Rimsky--Korsakov--had committed themselves to a nationalist Russian music.
