His music, [Mussorgsky] More than any other classical music, sounds like a story and engages my brain. I love the dramatic highs, the lows, and the subtle fluttering. Innocence, nobility, boldness, darkness, despair, love, perseverance, maliciousness, evil, good.....all of these things I hear in his music. And I love it. Thank you so much!

[@wishmaster7438]

Richard Wagner is like that too but I am not a great fan of his music. Many film composers were inspired by his ( Mussorgsky) works including John Williams.

[@madebyoneman5006]

Have you ever listened to the whole "story" of his promenade heading down the long dark noble, bold, lonely, regal, hallowed hall of the museum as he writes a piece for each one with that gayful reserved chanting promenade in between each Picture at the exhibition".? The great gate of Kiev ices the cake for a great climax of royal persona leaving you satisfied wondering what should I listen to next. ScottR

Where Tchaikovsky embodies a Europeanised and Romanticised Russian sorrow, Mussorgsky is the real Russian soul in all its fullness. Love him so much! :)

I will agree. Earlier in Russia, as well as probably in the whole of Europe, French, French fashion, French food, manners, architecture were very popular (especially since the 18th century Since their childhood, the Russian nobility have been learning French, and their French language was ideal, like that of the French. But many of them could not read and write in Russian.

Mussorgsky must have been like the Frank Zappa of his day. His stuff is pretty wild even by todays standards. He seemed to go out of his way to be totally different and distinct. He succeeded there. He`s peerless

[@leilop123]

I think tschaikowski is different,Not Mussorgsky

[@necroyoli08]

+Michaela Janu Nope, it's the other way around completely ... In short, Mussorgsky was the most innovative composer of the late 19th century, and it was him who put russan folk music in a classical context as the way to go for russian classical music to have a name of it's own. He was also the man who planted the seeds of syncopation in the concert hall, harvested to the farthest extremes by Stravinsky, who may be the key figure of 20th century classical music, and his lack of formal training also made him unaware of the revolution in harmony he was creating by only using his masterful ear and his experience with ethnical forms of music, not taken in by classical composers at the time. Tchaikovsky was great, just not as innovative, although he may have been more influential in terms of his superior popularity even today, not in strictly musical ones.

[@leilop123]

it's sad that Mussorgsky wasn't as respected as a lot of his Russian contemporaries. Rimsky-Korsakov and Tchaikovsky considered his technique unpolished and his worked were thoroughly edited after he died. but posterity has given him his due and recognized the forward thinking ways of his work.

[@GerardBeaubrun]

***** could the same be said of Schubert who died penniless and almost a best kept secret. At least Schubert was able to have his final wish granted. To rest eternally by the master...Beethoven

[@GerardBeaubrun]

in terms of the intellectual virtuosity, no one I believe will equal Bach but Beethoven stands as the paragon of the mental strength each and everyone one of us hold. the proud, powerful heroic genius who dares look at Fate in the eyes and proclaim not only will you not shut my creative power but I will invent a new vocabulary for mankind to express emotions that were deem too violent, too strong, too vast and too transcending to be allowed expression in this world. Bach was largely forgotten and rediscovered while Beethoven remains a towering figure regally bowing to all who preceded him and strongly shadowing all those who seek to shape, give voice and discover the nuances of human emotions through the means of vibration.

[@samuctrebla3221]

The recurrent theme "promenade" of "Pictures at an exhibition", used as interludes, actually guides the listener between the dramatic, happy, or sad themes. This music is a subtile guided tour of what emotions pictural art, mirrored in a muscial composition, is able to suggest. Plus it doesn't bother with highly technical or elitist frames, it is pure and easy to understand for the common man. What a great work by Mussorgsky and then Ravel.
