Rediscovering Mussorgsky's Public View

Mussorgsky Modest Petrovich(1839-1881)was a member of the group of five,a 19th-century Russian nationalist composer.In his short life,he created many excellent works,which not only reflected his pursuit of "musical realism",but also contained his profound thinking on national spirit and history.Under the background of the Russian cultural trend in the 19 th century,such issues as the fate of the country,the east and the west,the people and the monarchy became the focus of the intellectuals and artists at that time.It is in his works that Mussorgsky expresses his personal attitude towards the people and his thoughts on the destiny of the country.As one of the great operas in the history of Russian music,the opera Boris godunov is also the only complete opera created by Mussorgsky.Therefore,this paper focuses on the image of the people in the opera,through the analysis of the creation process of the opera and the image of the people's music,in order to achieve a profound interpretation of Mussorgsky's concept of the people.
