Modest Petrovich Mussorgsky (1839 - 1881)

Modest Petrovich Mussorgsky (Russian: Модест Петрович Мусоргский[a], romanized: Modest Petrovich Musorgsky[b], IPA: [mɐˈdɛst pʲɪˈtrovʲɪtɕ 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".
