He was an inspiration for many future Russian composers.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>We have <a href=\"https:\/\/www.music-scores.com\/sheet-music\/mussorgsky.php\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">over twenty arrangements<\/a> of Mussorgsky sheet music<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><\/p>\n\n\n\n<div style=\"height:9px\" aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"wp-block-spacer\"><\/div>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-early-life\">Early Life<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Modest Mussorgsky was born into a wealthy family, his mother, herself a trained pianist gave him his first piano lessons. By the age of seven, he was able to play some of Franz Liszt&#8217;s easier pieces.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Mussorgsky&#8217;s father took both him and his brother to <a href=\"https:\/\/realrussia.co.uk\/Info\/Destinations\/St-Petersburg\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">St Petersburg <\/a>at the age of ten to attend Peters-Paul school in preparation to join the military, feeling that this was the career for them.  Despite discovering music at an early age Mussorgsky&#8217;s musical career actually only started in the army.  During his service, he met fellow composer and member of <strong>The Five<\/strong>, <a href=\"https:\/\/www.music-scores.com\/blog\/borodin\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Alexander Borodin<\/a>.  Both men worked together in the military hospital and became good friends.  <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Modest&#8217;s mother died in 1865 when he was thirty-six. He subsequently moved in with his brother, then later shared a flat with fellow musician <a href=\"https:\/\/www.music-scores.com\/blog\/rimsky-korsakov\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Nikolai Rimsky-Korsakov<\/a>.  When Nikolai married in 1872 Mussorgsky turned to alcohol.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-career\">Career<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Mussorgsky impressed the famous Russian composer <a href=\"http:\/\/en.tchaikovsky-research.net\/pages\/Aleksandr_Dargomyzhsky\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Alexander Dargomyzhsky <\/a>with his piano playing and was requested to play at his soirees.  It was here that he met many influential and important figures including <a href=\"https:\/\/en.tchaikovsky-research.net\/pages\/Vladimir_Stasov\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Stasov<\/a>, <a href=\"http:\/\/en.tchaikovsky-research.net\/pages\/Mily_Balakirev\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Mily Balakirev<\/a>,&nbsp;and <a href=\"https:\/\/www.naxos.com\/person\/Cesar_Cui\/27141.htm\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">C\u00e9sar Cui<\/a> (the latter two, later becoming part of &#8216;The Five&#8217;).  Balakirev became Mussorgsky&#8217;s teacher and was responsible for expanding his musical knowledge from that of a pianist to a composer.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>He took inspiration from Russian folklore and history.  His opera Boris Godunov portrayed the life of a Russian tsar and was based on the play by Russia&#8217;s most famous poet <a href=\"https:\/\/www.poetryfoundation.org\/poets\/alexander-pushkin\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Alexander Pushkin<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-works\">Works <\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>In 1866 Mussorgsky wrote a series of songs &#8216;Darling Savishna&#8217;, &#8216;Hopak,&#8217; and &#8216;The Seminarist, based on normal people.  Following this he wrote the tone poem &#8216;Ivanova noch na Lysoy gore&#8217;&nbsp;(1867;&nbsp;<em>Night on Bald Mountain<\/em>).  This was later used in the 1940 animated Fantasia film.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The original version of his most famous opera &#8216;Boris Godunov&#8217;, written in 1869 was rejected and consequently modified in 1872.  Its first performance was in St. Peterburg in 1874.  Many composers made revisions to the piece including Rimsky-Korsakov.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>He completed his other major work,&nbsp;<a href=\"https:\/\/operawire.com\/opera-profile-mussorgskys-khovanshchina\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Khovanshchina<\/a>&nbsp;(1880), prior to his death in 1881. Again it was Rimsky-Korsakov revised and scored the opera using the composers&#8217; notes. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>&#8216;Boris Godunov&#8217; premiered in Europe in 1908 changing European perceptions of the composer who was previously regarded as &#8216;eccentric from the west&#8217;.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Michael Jackson&#8217;s single HIStory (1995)  includes samples of multiple musical compositions and historical audio quotes and includes &#8220;The Great Gate of Kiev&#8221; from Mussorgsky&#8217;s Pictures at an Exhibition. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-later-life\">Later Life<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Alcohol consumed the final years of Mussorgsky&#8217;s life. In February 1881 he had three consecutive fits of alcoholic epilepsy and within a month he died in St. Peterburg aged just forty-two.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-mussorgsky-sheet-music-downloads-and-further-reading\">Mussorgsky Sheet Music Downloads and Further Reading<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>On music-scores.com we have <a href=\"https:\/\/www.music-scores.com\/sheet-music\/mussorgsky.php\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">over twenty arrangements<\/a> of Mussorgsky sheet music in PDF format for you to download.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Read more about this Russian composer at <a href=\"http:\/\/www.favorite-classical-composers.com\/modest-mussorgsky.html\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Favourite Classical Composers<\/a>,  <a href=\"https:\/\/en.wikipedia.org\/wiki\/Modest_Mussorgsky\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Wikipedia<\/a> and <a href=\"https:\/\/www.britannica.com\/biography\/Modest-Mussorgsky\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Britannica<\/a>.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Mussorgsky Sheet Music and Biography Modest Mussorgsky is a famous Russian composer from the nineteenth century.
