Mussorgsky’s career was in military and civil service, not composing.Group of answer choicesTrueFalse

The statement "Mussorgsky’s career was in military and civil service, not composing" is False.

Modest Mussorgsky was a prominent Russian composer, and while he did have a background in military service—having served in the Semenovsky Regiment of the Imperial Guard—his legacy is primarily defined by his contributions to music rather than his military or civil service. Mussorgsky is best known for his innovative compositions that include orchestral works, operas like "Boris Godunov," and the piano piece "Pictures at an Exhibition." His music reflects a deep sense of nationalism and often drew inspiration from Russian history, folklore, and the struggles of the Russian people. Therefore, while Mussorgsky was briefly involved in military service, it was his career as a composer that left a significant mark on the world of classical music.
