Incredible! The symphonic setting of this 19th century masterpiece has been masterfully adapted for string orchestra. The work includes the opening Promenade, The Gnome, The Old Castle, The Tuileries Gardens - Children Quarrelling at Play, The Ballet of the Unhatched Chicks, The Hut of Baba-Yaga, and The Great Gate of Kiev. The perfect centerpiece for any concert and a stunning way to introduce students to Mussorgsky’s masterwork.
A masterpiece of 19th-century repertoire, Pictures at an Exhibition was originally written for piano solo and later orchestrated by Maurice Ravel. This arrangement is drawn from the original piano work. The original is a musical depiction of 10 scenes by the architect and artist Victor Hartmann, with a recurring "promenade" representing the viewer's movements among the pictures at the exhibit.
