Features: Whether judged by the characteristics of the works or the musical concepts, you cannot classify Mussorgsky into any existing group of musicians. He explained his artistic features through his role as a composer and artist: art itself is not the purpose, art is a means of communication with people. This principle runs through his entire creative life.
