my favorite expression markings in music
avec la liberté d'une chanson populaire/with the freedom of a popular song (claude debussy prelude no. 5, "les collines d'anacapri")
peu à peu sortant de la brume/little by little emerging from the mist (claude debussy prelude no. 10, "la cathédrale engloutie")
de manière à obtenir un creux/so as to obtain a hollowness (erik satie, gnossienne no. 3)
with simple tenderness (edward macdowell, to a wild rose)
velocissimo, con tutta forza/very fast, with all force (modest mussorgsky, pictures at an exhibition 1. gnomus)
si deve suonare tutto questo pezzo delicatissimamente e senza sordino/you must play this whole piece very delicately and without pedal (ludwig van beethoven, piano sonata no. 14, "moonlight")

Whenever I try to imagine what Noldolante sounds like, I hear Old Castle from Pictures at an Exhibition by Modest Mussorgsky.
I'd be really interested to know what songs other folks imagine?

I feel like it is extremely important to realise that the piece that they play when Princess Carolyn having her painting fantasy is from Pictures At An Exhibition. And it's from the first movement, which is called Prominade. It's an amazing pun and it literally could not be more perfect for this scene like I don't think you underSTAND.

OTD in Music History: Important Russian “nationalist” composer Modest Mussorgsky (1839 – 1881) is born into a wealthy and land-owning Russian family. Mussorgsky began receiving piano lessons from his mother (a trained pianist) at the age of six. He progressed rapidly, and, at the age of ten, he and his brother were taken to Saint Petersburg to continue their studies (which included music) at an elite school. Mussorgsky's parents had also planned the move to Saint Petersburg so that both their sons would renew a longstanding family tradition of military service. Accordingly, Mussorgsky was duly enrolled in the Cadet School of the Guards at the age of 13. Unfortunately, the school was a brutal environment – and it probably instilled in young Mussorgsky the drinking habits which would ultimately lead him down to the path to terminal alcoholism. (According to another former student, the Head of the Academy at that time "was proud when a cadet returned from leave drunk with champagne.”) Mussorgsky’s considerable skills as a pianist made him popular with his fellow-cadets, however, and he spent many evenings playing popular dances interspersed with his own improvisations. In October 1856, the 17-year-old Mussorgsky met the 22-year-old physician Alexander Borodin (1833 - 1887) while both men were serving at a military hospital. Even more portentous was Mussorgsky’s introduction just a few months later to Alexander Dargomyzhsky (1813 - 1869) – who at the time was the most important Russian composer after Mikhail Glinka (1804 - 1857). Dargomyzhsky was so impressed with Mussorgsky's pianism that he invited Mussorgsky to attend his soirées, and it was there that Mussorgsky met Cesar Cui (1835 – 1918) and Mily Balakirev (1837 – 1910) – and, through Balakirev, Nicolai Rimsky-Korsakov (1844 - 1908). Thus the core constituency of the historically important Russian “nationalist” school of composers known as “The Mighty Five” was formed… PICTURED: A c. 1920s real photo postcard showing the middle-aged Mussorgsky, with a very solid mullet.
