	Modest Petrovich Mussorgsky
		Mussorgsky's 'Pictures at the Exhibition' is arguably the epitome of all programmatic piano music in 19th Century.
		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.

	Encyclopedia: Modest Petrovich Mussorgsky
		Modest Petrovich Mussorgsky (Моде́ст Петро́вич Му́соргский) (March 21, 1839 –; March 28, 1881; sometimes spelt Modeste Moussorgsky), was an innovative Russian composer famed for his colourful, exotic, and lush orchestral pieces dedicated to various subjects of medieval Russian history.
		Mussorgsky's family descended from the first Russian ruler, Rurik, through the sovereign princes of Smolensk.
		Modest was prepared by his parents for the military career, but under the influence of Mily Balakirev quit the service and joined The Five, a group of composers dedicated to promoting a distinctly Russian kind of music.

	Mussorgsky, Modest Petrovich (1839 - 1881) (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-09)
		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.

	Modest Mussorgsky
		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.
