aah I failed to mention mussirgsky couldnt read music and was considered a musial illiterate!

Have you ever seen a drawing of him? he looks like a barbarian! No seriously, he must have been extremely eccentric and i can only imagine him playing you know night on bald mountain and pictures at an exhibition were written for solo piano and later orchesteated by ravel and rimsky korsakov
