What prevented Balakirev from getting credited for his inventiveness?
His poor health
His slow pace in completing works
His lack of talent
His reluctance to share his music
Answer
Balakirev's slow pace in completing works prevented him from getting credited for his inventiveness. He had many ideas for compositions, but he was often unable to complete them in a timely manner. This meant that other composers were able to get their works published and performed before Balakirev, and he was often overshadowed by them. As a result, Balakirev's inventiveness was not fully appreciated until after his death.
