Introduction of the piano composition 

Pictures at an Exhibition is a suite of ten pieces (plus a recurring, varied Promenade) composed for piano by Russian composer Modest Mussorgsky in 1874.The music depicts his tour of the exhibition, with each of the ten numbers of the suite serving as a musical illustration of an individual work by Hartmann.

The suite is Mussorgsky's most famous piano composition and has become a showpiece for virtuoso pianists. It has become further known through various orchestrations and arrangements produced by other musicians and composers, with Maurice Ravel's arrangement being by far the most recorded and performed.

 

 

Introduction of the composer

Modest Petrovich Mussorgsky (1839-1881) was a Russian composer. He is famous for his opera Boris Godonov, songs and piano suite Painting at the Exhibition. Together with Borodin, Rimsky-Kosakov, Guy and Balakilev, Modest was one of the group known as "The Five"., which is considered to be the typical Russian native composers in the 19th century.
