Mussorgsky - Pictures At An Exhibition Piano Urtext

Though the first published version of this piece appeared in 1886 it was not until Maurice Ravel created an Orchestral version of Pictures From An Exhibition in 1922 that the world awoke to the magnificence of the work. Originally created to honour a deceased artist friend of Mussorgsky’s by creating musical impressions of his art works at an exhibition the work also represents the composer’s version of Russian national music a cause to which Mussorgsky was dedicated.The music includes translations of the composer’s own comments on each movement in descriptions of the pictures. The Promenade is now frequently used as a processional at weddings.

Par MUSSORGSKY MODEST. The death in 1873 of Mussorgsky's friend Victor Hartmann was the stimulus for the initial creation of what was to become one of the most vividly colourful works in the orchestral repertoire. However, Mussorgsky's original piano version of Pictures At An Exhibition was not even published until 5 years after his death, and remained almost unknown until Ravel's masterful orchestration of it in 1922. From then on it has become favourite in the orchestral repertoire. This is the piano version of Mussorgsky’s famous work./ Répertoire / Piano

The Russian composer Mussorgsky was for the most part self-taught. His contemporaries were not always enthusiastic about the innovations in his music and accused him of lacking technique. Today however Mussorgsky is considered the innovator of Russian music par excellence. Although he gained fame primarily as a composer of operas and songs Mussorgsky also wrote a number of piano works; for example the suite Pictures at an Exhibition from 1874.
