He strove to achieve a uniquely Russian musical identity, often in deliberate defiance of the established conventions of Western Music. Many of his major works were inspired by Russian history, Russian folklore, and other national themes, including the great music drama Boris Godunov, the orchestral tone poem A Night on the Bare 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.

Never ask a woman her age, a man his salary and Mussorgsky what on earth happened on bald mountain
@davidsilverstein5034

Of course, 2 of those figures come after the decimal point. And the first 3 figures are all zeroes...😭

Mussorgsky must have passed a really haunting night at the bald mountain to be able to compose this...
@joeferris5086
Its original title was the crimson tide but his wife insisted he change it. He was thrown out of the house and spent the night on bald mountain and that's when he wrote the sugar plumb fairy
@nathankerr393
The original title was "St. John's Night at the Bare Mountain", and the different passages are titled after different encounters with demons. So, you're totally right--must've been a helluva night
@jenniferdonovan821
It about gypsies worshiping trees and nature I don’t know what you are talking about
