The striking novelty of Mussorgsky's original compositions was not rediscovered until the mid-20th century, when Dmitri Shostakovich reorchestrasted his opera on the Musovite history, Khovanshchina. One of Mussorgsky'swildest and most barbaric pieces (as the contemporary critics put it) is the orchestral work St. John's Night on Bare Mountain, which was made famous in the US by its appearence in Disney's Fantasia.
His most imaginative and frequently preformed work is the cycle of piano pieces, describong pictures in sound and called Pictures At An Exhibition. This composition was written in commemoration of his friend the architect Viktor Hartmann.
