This composer referenced Mussorgsky's Khovanshchina in his 13th symphony and in The Execution of Stepan Razin. The premiere of this composer's fourth symphony was supposed to be in 1936 but took place in 1961 instead.  The fourth movement of his 11th symphony, titled "Tocsin", references a folk song titled "Rage, Tyrants", while its third movement references "You Fell as Victims". That work outwardly seems to be a patriotic tribute to the year 1905, but some people have questioned whether it is actually about the events of 1956 in Hungary instead. Name this composer famously criticized in the article "Muddle Instead of Music" that appeared in Pravda as a reaction to his opera Lady Macbeth of the Mtsensk District.
