Description

Editor Nancy Bricard examines the sources and inconsistencies among various editions of Moussorgsky's seminal work for piano, Pictures at an Exhibition, drawing from the autograph manuscript and early publications. This meticulously researched edition highlights the deep connection between Moussorgsky and Russian artist Victor Hartmann, whose visual art served as the inspiration for this musical collection. Bricard provides intriguing insights into the composer's creative process by including discarded musical passages in her footnotes. Additionally, she addresses important aspects such as tempo, fingering, pedaling, and interpretation, while also offering context regarding the historical, cultural, and social factors that shaped Moussorgsky's music.
