Modest Petrovich Mussorgsky: Les Enfantines (Le Hanneton, Avec la poupée)

Modest Petrovich Mussorgsky (March 21th 1839–March 28th 1881) He was a Russian composer, one of the group known as "The Five". He was an innovator of Russian music in the romantic period. He strove to achieve a uniquely Russian musical identity, often in deliberate defiance of the established conventions of Western music.

Many of his works were inspired by Russian history, Russian folklore, and other nationalist themes. Such works include the opera Boris Godunov, the orchestral tone poem Night on Bald Mountain, and the piano suite Pictures at an Exhibition.
