What differs, and by how much

Different wording The two terms share 穆索斯基 in their simplified forms but are different words. In Taiwan the standard term is 穆索斯基; on the Mainland it is 穆索尔斯基 - both point at “Modest Mussorgsky (1839-1881), Russian composer, composer of Pictures at an Exhibition”.

Taiwan’s Ministry of Education dictionaries record 穆索斯基、穆索爾斯基 for this concept. The Mainland standard is among them - the difference is which form each side makes the default.

Neither term carries an HSK or TOCFL level in this table - this pair is dictionary-recorded, not syllabus-derived.

Pair source: the OpenCC cross-strait conversion table, which maps each Mainland term to the form used in Taiwan.
