| Balakirev's Piano Sonata is one of the greatest and most original ever written, in my opinion. Certainly the greatest Russian sonata before Scriabin/Prokofiev. Islamey is justly famous. The second Scherzo is filled with beautiful themes and is very exciting. |

I love his transcription of The Lark of Glinka. I also love his Nocturne No.3.
Some History about the man:
[i]"Balakirev is perhaps most important as the leader of The Mighty Five. (Balakirev, along with Borodin, Rimsky-Korsakov, Mussorgsky, and Cui, formed an alliance of amateur composers that came to be known as The Mighty Five.)"[/i]
He didn't wrote al lot of pieces, because he took I believe 20 years to write his symphonies. He was the first Russian Composer who was making a symphony, but when it was complete other Russian composers already made symphonies. If he was a little faster, maybe he was known today as very famous...
