Description

Mussorgsky - Pictures at an Exhibition for Trumpet and PianoPictures at an Exhibition was originally written as a suite in ten movements for Piano in 1874. It has become a showpiece for virtuoso Pianists and further known through a number of orchestrations and arrangements with Maurice Ravel's being the most performed by far. Ralph Sauer's landmark arrangement very successfully captures the spirit of the composition by carefully planning rests and managing the technical split between Trumpeter and Pianist.
