About this item
Inspired by an exhibition of paintings by his friend Victor Hartmann, these famous musical illustrations by Moussorgsky have been beautifully rendered here for school string orchestras by Elliot Del Borgo. Playing in a bold style is essential, and the success of very stringent, biting harmonies requires accurate performance of chromatic intervals.

Composer
Modest Mussorgsky (1839 - 1881)
Modest Petrovich Mussorgsky (21 March 1839 – 28 March 1881) was a Russian composer, one of the group known as 'The Five'. He was an innovator of Russian music in the romantic period. He strove to achieve a uniquely Russian musical identity, often in deliberate defiance of the established conventions of Western music.
Many of his works were inspired by Russian history, Russian folklore, and other nationalist themes. Such works include the opera Boris Godunov, the orchestral tone poem Night on Bald Mountain, and the piano suite Pictures at an Exhibition.
For many years Mussorgsky's works were mainly known in versions revised or completed by other composers. Many of his most important compositions have recently come into their own in their original forms, and some of the original scores are now also available.
