	Modest Mussorgsky - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Mussorgsky was born in Karevo in the province of Pskov, 400 kilometres south-south-east of St Petersburg.
		Mussorgsky's career as a civil servant was by no means stable or secure: though he was assigned to various posts and even received a promotion in these early years, in 1867 he was declared 'supernumerary' – remaining 'in service' but receiving no wages.

	Pictures at an Exhibition - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Mussorgsky composed the work in commemoration of his friend, the artist and architect Viktor Hartmann, who was only 39 when he died in 1873; the original title for the suite was Hartmann.
		It was probably in 1870 and through the highly influential critic Vladimir Stasov that Mussorgsky had met Hartmann, whose devotion to the cause of an intrinsically Russian art must have made him a congenial spirit.
		This publication, moreover, was not a completely accurate representation of Mussorgsky's score, but presented an edited and revised text that had been subjected to a certain amount of 'polishing', as well as containing a substantial number of errors and misreadings.

		However, Mussorgsky had no pretensions as a piano virtuoso, and he was described by Borodin as 'an elegant piano dilettante'.
		It evinces Mussorgsky's fertile imaginations and is replete with the strikingly original and somewhat exotic melodies, in such a way that shows an affinity with Russian folksongs.
		It is a fact that Mussorgsky did not adhere to the principles of the traditional theory, but strived to relate his music to the Russian culture and life.

	BookRags: Modest Petrovich Mussorgsky Biography
		Modest Petrovich Mussorgsky (1839-1881) is generally acclaimed the finest of the group of Russian composers known as the Mighty Five.
		Mussorgsky was born on March 9, 1839, in the village of Karevo in the Pskov district.
		There is a relentless, inevitable movement forward in Mussorgsky's style, in significant measure related to his understanding of the folk process in music, which provides him with the deftness of the caricaturist's hand: his vignettes of a drunken priest, a clown, an idiot, a vain princess, or a mad czar are sure and convincing.

	Composer (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-21)
		Mussorgsky was one of the five Russian nationalist composers, roughly grouped under the influence of the unreliable Balakirev.
		Initially an army officer and later, intermittently, a civil servant, Mussorgsky left much unfinished at his death in 1881, nevertheless his influence on composers such as Janácek was considerable, not least in the association he found between speech intonations and rhythms and melody.
		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.

		Many of Mussorgsky's works were unfinished, and their editing and posthumous publication were mainly carried out by Rimsky-Korsakov, who to a greater or lesser degree 'corrected' what Mussorgsky had composed.
		It was only many years later that, with a return to the composer's original drafts, the true nature of his rough art could be properly understood, for Mussorgsky shared with some of the painters of his day a disdain for formal beauty, technical polish and other manifestations of 'art for art's sake'.
		His desire was to relate his art as closely as possible to life, especially that of the Russian masses, to nourish it on events and to employ it as a means for communicating human experience.

		Bio: A member of the group of Russian nationalist composers known as "The Mighty Five," Mussorgsky wrote opera (Boris Godounov, 1868), songs, and incidental music (Pictures at an Exhibition for piano (1874)), and A Night on Bare Mountain.
