Entrancing
My high school played this song for competition and it was absolutely amazing. We completely stunned the judges. I was a bass clarinet, so I think that I was lucky enough to have one of the coolest parts! :) A+ for Mussorgsky!!

Hard but great
It's kinda hard to play this piece on the piano. The arrangement is real good, and this piece is really cool. It is a good 10 bucks that I spent.

Mystical. Daunting.Extravagant.Serene.
In my high school recently, we played this for our symphonic band concert and it sounded great. I play the flute and my section sounded great. The flute is heard throughout the melody in this piece from beginning to end (of course the flute is the best). The aggressive and frightening melody and tempo in the beginning is very distinguished from the calm, peaceful, and innocent end played by the woodwinds. "Night On Bald Mountain" is a challenging piece for many, and it still makes you sit at the edge of your seat when listening to it. I would like to thank Mussorgsky for creating such a grand composition.(FLUTES ARE THE BEST!!!!!!!!)

overall spooky song
this song was very difficult at the beginning for our freshman band, but after a few weeks, this became the best thing that has happened at our school. This is an overall spooky song that will surely leave the audience with a tingling sensation! Very difficult wind instrument licks make this piece interesting!

yowza! advanced? they're not kidding.
I don't know if my fingers will ever move this fast. Hopefully I'll get the hang of this piece someday. People with small hands may have a difficult time with some of the chords. This piece is VERY challenging.
