Modest Mussorgsky was the composer for the operatic work "Boris Gudonoff."
I like his work, "Pictures at an Exhibition" and particularly, "Night on Bald Mountain", but did not realize all or some of his work was operatic.
Today's Question:
Jazz presents an ever-changing outer surface but has a permanent inner core. Give the two elements that are basic to all jazz music.
I don't know this one either; as Bruce McCulloch said, "I hate jazz." (Actually hate is too strong--I'm not particularly fond of it.)
