{"product_id":"moussorgsky-oskar-von-riesemann","title":"Moussorgsky","description":"\u003cp\u003eThis comprehensive biographical monograph serves as an objective, detailed study documenting the life, psychological struggles, and enduring artistic legacy of Modest Petrovich Moussorgsky. Originally translated from German, the narrative chronologically tracks the composer from his childhood roots in rural Russia through his civil service career and his ultimate descent into severe alcoholism and isolation. The text focuses heavily on his creative evolution within the nineteenth-century nationalist music movement, exploring his close collaborations with Nikolai Rimsky-Korsakov and the circle of composers known as \"The Five\" who sought to build a distinct Russian classical identity. The study provides structural analyses of landmark compositions, including the complex history behind the opera Boris Godunov and the thematic inspirations driving the piano suite Pictures at an Exhibition. It functions as a foundational academic reference that preserves early twentieth-century critical perspectives on the raw, unconventional harmonic techniques that redefined modern orchestration.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Oskar Von Riesemann","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":43160719130874,"sku":"A6\/19\/07052026","price":9.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0635\/3387\/5450\/products\/IMG_3108_73558265-1afc-433b-9911-f0914519e4b3.jpg?v=1791250524","url":"https:\/\/flippedpages.com\/products\/moussorgsky-oskar-von-riesemann","provider":"Flipped Pages","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
