4. Balakeirev was only a couple of years older than Mussorgsky. For years, he and 4 other Russian composers got together to study and compose a Russian style of classical music. Balakeirev didn’t know that much about music but that didn’t stop him from criticizing music. He complained so much about one of Mussorgsky’s songs that Mussorgsky stopped working for him. The song he complained about is “Night on Bald Mountain.”
