Modest Mussorgsky (1839-1881) was a Russian composer of piano pieces, operas, songs, and symphonic works. Born to a wealthy noble family in the St. Petersburg area, he showed musical talent from an early age but also attended military school to preserve the family tradition of military service. Through connections in the military, he became a member of The Five, a group of Russian composers who sought to promote Russian national pride through their music. Resigning his military career to work as a low-paid civil servant and devote himself to music, he wrote the orchestral tone poem Night on the Bald Mountain, the piano suite Pictures at an Exhibition, and the opera Boris Godunov. Having exhibited signs of alcoholism from an early age, he died of alcohol poisoning in 1881.
