Russian Symbolist Masterpiece
Pictures at an Exhibition, by Modeste Mussorgsky, is one of the great masterpieces of the Russian romantic repertoire. Symbolist values, such as the fascination with death, and the idea that the truest representation of reality is in the mind, are exhibited in this set of reflections on drawings by a well known artist of the time. these works are of varying difficulty, from moderately difficult to virtuoso. The editing and graphics are all top notch. Alfred Publishing and Nancy Bricard have made available an outstanding edition at an affordable price.

For pianists seeking familiarity with Mussorgsky
This incredible work was inspired by an art exhibit and thus, affords a unique opportunity to study music in relation to visual arts. This is a well-laid out edition--the notes are printed clearly and a helpful introduction is provided. Pieces may be studied individually to suit one's level and taste but they are generally on the upper intermediate to the advanced levels.
