Problem:Early unfinished operas by this composer include Oedipus in Athens and Salammb. These operas lack the nationalism that would characterize his later works such as Khovanshchina, an opera based on the Moscow uprising of 1682. A common theme in his works is the plight of the downtrodden, something he can relate to since his aristocratic family was pushed into poverty upon the emancipation of the serfs. A famous portrait by Ilya Repin portrays him just days before his death at age 42. He made many versions of the choral work A Night on Bald Mountain, while he is better known for the opera Boris Godunov. For ten points, identify this Russian composer of Pictures at an Exhibition, a member of the Five.
