Alman müzikçi Eisrich’ten armoni ve orkestrasyon dersleri alm??, 1855’te Ulibi?ev’in deste?iyle St. Petersburg’a giderek Rusya’n?n ünlü bestecisi Glinka tan??m??t?r.

Piyano Konçertosu’nu tamamlam??, 1882’de ise Rus devletinin 1000. kurulu? y?l? dolay?s?yla Bin Y?l adl? orkestra eserini yazm??t?r. ?zleyen y?llarda kendini bütünüyle eserlerine veren Balakirev’in piyano için yazd??? eserlerin tamam? 1952’de Moskova’da bas?lm??t?r.
