Composer Modest Moussorgsky (1839-1881) came from the prosperous environment of Russian nobility. In 1865 after his officer’s education he joined the guard’s regiment in St. Petersburg. Here he met a number of well-known colleague-composers including Balakirev Cui Rimsky- Korsakov and Borodin.

On their return journey one glance back at her is fatal: he loses her for the second time.)This arrangement for wind band is very suitable as a concert opener. The toccata is played three times just like the original. The first time it is played by a quintetconsisting of two trumpets and three trombones.)Various ways of performing this toccata are possible.

Mais quand il s’aperçoit qu’elle est éprise de Raoul Vicomte de Chagny et ami d’enfance de la cantatrice la fureur s’empare de lui.
