About this item
Finally! With this new arrangement you can bring Pictures At An Exhibition to sound in all its shades of coulors with your complete ensemble. Attendant words let the pictures of V. Hartmann, which have partly been lost, come alive.
To enable you to upgrade to the complete symphonic orchestra score, the string section has been retained (apart from very few exceptions) in its former version. Newly appear ad lib. winds as follow: 2 x in C, 2-3 x in B, 2 x in E-flat and 2 x in C-bass. Guitar, harp, percussion instruments (cymbals, temple blocks, timbrel, glockenspiel etc.) and timpani ad lib. round off the symphonic spectrum. The arrangement is interesting for all instruments and contains partly more demanding tasks.

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.
