Mussorgsky's virtuosic suite for piano, Pictures at an
Exhibition was composed in 1874, in memory of the
composers's friend Viktor Hartmann, a Russian artist and
architect who died from an aneurism the year before. The
suite consists of ten movements plus promenades, which
were inspired by an exhibit of Hartmann's drawings and
watercolors. Each movement depicts one of the artworks
with the promenades serving to connect the movements. The
suite has enjoyed great success in the many arrangements
done over the years, with Ravel's orchestration among
the most popular.
David Canfield has used Mussorgsky's music in this
virtuoso showpiece, utilizing all four of the major
saxophones (soprano, alto, tenor, and baritone --
1 player). Written for Kenneth Tse, the
premiere of the suite took place at the World
Saxophone Congress in Scotland, July, 2012.
The individual movements are as follows:
