| rdfs:comment | - Modest Petrovich Mussorgsky was another one of those damn drunk Russians. However, unlike his crocked composing comrades, Mussorgsky was taught very little music, he derived much of his music from nights spent binging on alcohol laced with LSD, rather than the commonly thought fabrication that it was based on "Russian folk songs." Seriously, unless every word in his operas was "Long live the Great Commissar Stalin/Lenin/Putin," nobody's buying that explanation.
- Modest Petrovich Mussorgsky (Russian: Модест Петрович Мусоргский, IPA: [mɐˈdest ˈmusərkskʲɪj]; 21 March [[ O.S.] 9 March] 1839 – 28 March [[ O.S.] 16 March] 1881) was a Russian composer, one of the group known as "The Five". He was an innovator of Russian music in the romantic period. He strove to achieve a uniquely Russian musical identity, often in deliberate defiance of the established conventions of Western music.

- Modest Petrovich Mussorgsky (Russian: Модест Петрович Мусоргский, IPA: [mɐˈdest ˈmusərkskʲɪj]; 21 March [[ O.S.] 9 March] 1839 – 28 March [[ O.S.] 16 March] 1881) was a Russian composer, one of the group known as "The Five". He was an innovator of Russian music in the romantic period. He strove to achieve a uniquely Russian musical identity, often in deliberate defiance of the established conventions of Western music. Many of his works were inspired by Russian history, Russian folklore, and other nationalist themes. Such works include the opera Boris Godunov, the orchestral tone poem Night on Bald Mountain, and the piano suite Pictures at an Exhibition. For many years Mussorgsky's works were mainly known in versions revised or completed by other composers. Many of his most important compositions have recently come into their own in their original forms, and some of the original scores are now also available.
