1- In this page there is the following snippet of paragraph:
"He has also worked on the score and parts for an arrangement of
Moussurgsky’s Boris Godounov for wind quartet"
On the other side, a few paragraphs below we find:
"Mussorgsky’s Pictures at an exhibition[...]"
Searching the web, I found "Mussorgsky" and "Godunov" (without 'o'
from 'ou') in pages like e.g. Wikipedia[1], but found no occurrence
"Moussurgsky" and "Godounov". So, just checking: is the spelling
correct?
[1]https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Modest_Mussorgsky
Cyrillic transliteration is always subject to discussion. The versions
with ‘ou’ hint French transliteration, traditional English
transliteration is always ‘Mussorgsky’ and ‘Godunov’, the former is
scientifically transliterated as ‘Musorgskiy’ or ‘Musorgskij’. The only
thing that’s completely uncontroversial is that the second ‘u’ in
‘Moussurgsky’ is a typo.
Like most of the time, Wikipedia follows a very well-established policy
and it’s perfectly OK to follow them.
