(Cambridge): Cambridge University Press, 1999. First Edition. Hardcover. Fine/near fine. First printing, octavo size, 194 pp. "Modest Musorgsky is Russia's greatest musical dramatist. When he died in 1881 in St. Petersburg at the age of forty-two, in poverty and relative obscurity, he was known for a single opera, 'Boris Godunov', and a handful of eccentric 'realistic' songs. "In this brief biography, Caryl Emerson amends many of the canonical interpretations of Musorgksy as 'victim,', 'martyr,' and 'savage genius.' If his life was tragic it is not only because he was misunderstood but also because he was impoverished....[t]hese deprivations were instrumental in shaping his vision...."
