Battle of the Grumbles by Thomas Nation. Izbushka na kuryikh nozhkakh Baba-Yaga. Mussorgsky added the witch's flight in a mortar. A scherzo Feroce with a slower middle section. Motives in this movement evoke the bells of a large clock and the whirlwind sounds of a chase.

Structurally the movement mirrors the grotesque qualities of "Gnomus" on a grand scale. The movement is cast in ternary form ABA:. Bogatyrskiye vorota V stolnom gorode vo Kiyeve. Bogatyrs are heroes that appear in Russian epics called bylinas. Hartmann designed a monumental gate for Tsar Alexander II to commemorate the monarch's narrow escape from an assassination attempt on April 4, Hartmann regarded his design as the best work he had done.

His design won the national competition but plans to build the structure were later cancelled. The movement's grand main theme exalts the opening Promenade much as "Baba Yaga" amplified "Gnomus"; also like that movement it evens out the meter of its earlier counterpart. The solemn secondary theme is based on a baptismal hymn from the repertory of Russian Orthodox chant. The movement is cast as a broad rondo in two main sections: The interruption of this pattern with new music just before its expected conclusion gives the rest of the movement the feeling of a vast extension.

Children's Album, Op. 39: No. 20, The Witch Baba-Yaga

This extended leave-taking acts as a coda for the suite as a whole. In the Russian pianist Andrej Hoteev presented in a CD recording a performance of "Pictures at an Exhibition" based on original manuscripts [18] he consulted in the Russian National Library at St. The first musician to arrange Mussorgsky's Pictures at an Exhibition for orchestra was the Russian composer and conductor Mikhail Tushmalov.

However, his version first performed in and possibly produced as early as when he was a student of Rimsky-Korsakov does not include the entire suite: Only seven of the ten "pictures" are present, leaving out "Gnomus", "Tuileries", and "Cattle", and all the Promenades are omitted except for the last one, which is used in place of the first. The next orchestration was undertaken by the British conductor Henry Wood in He recorded a few sections of his arrangement on a pair of acoustic Columbia 78rpm discs in However, he withdrew his version when Maurice Ravel 's orchestration was published, and banned every public performance in the s in deference to Ravel's work.

Wood's arrangement has also been recorded by the London Philharmonic Orchestra under Nicholas Braithwaite and issued on the Lyrita label. All but the first of the Promenade movements were omitted and other passages extensively re-composed. Wood's orchestration was once described by Gordon Jacob as "superior in picturesqueness to the Ravel", with its off-stage camel-bells in "Cattle" and grand organ in "The Great Gate of Kiev".

The first person to orchestrate the piece in its entirety was the Slovenian-born conductor and violinist Leo Funtek , who finished his version in while living and working in Finland. The version by Maurice Ravel , produced in on a commission by Serge Koussevitzky , represents a virtuoso effort by a master colourist.

The orchestration has proved the most popular in the concert hall and on record. His instrumental colors—a trumpet solo for the opening Promenade, dark woodwind tones for passages suggesting Orthodox chant, the piccolo and high strings for the children's "chicks in shells"—are widely admired. The influence of Ravel's version may often be discerned in subsequent versions of the suite. Koussevitzky's commission, worked out with the publishers of the piano suite, gave him sole conducting rights for several years. He published Ravel's score himself and in made the first recording of it with the Boston Symphony Orchestra.

The exclusive nature of his commission prompted the release of a number of contemporary versions by other arrangers until Ravel's became generally available. The original publisher of Mussorgsky's piano suite, W. The publisher had passed on the opportunity to publish Ravel's arrangement, seeing no great commercial advantage in printing a score and set of parts for large orchestra; it had granted Koussevitzky permission to commission the setting and publish the score himself on the condition that no one else be allowed to perform it.

Bessel turned to a Ravel student, year-old Russian-born pianist Leonidas Leonardi — , a. Leon Leonardi or Leonid Leonardi, to create an orchestral version that could meet the now burgeoning demand and help the publisher regain some of its lost advantage. Leonardi's orchestration requires even larger forces than the version made by his mentor.

The young pianist dedicated his setting of the suite to Igor Stravinsky and conducted the premiere in Paris with the Lamoureux Orchestra on 15 June Another arrangement appeared when Eugene Ormandy took over the Philadelphia Orchestra in following Leopold Stokowski 's decision to resign the conductorship. Ormandy wanted a version of Pictures of his own and commissioned Lucien Cailliet , the Philadelphia Orchestra's 'house arranger' and player in the woodwind section, to produce one.

This version was premiered and recorded by Ormandy in Walter Goehr published a version in for smaller forces than Ravel but curiously dropped "Gnomus" altogether and made "Limoges" the first piece.

The conductor Leopold Stokowski had introduced Ravel's version to Philadelphia audiences in November ; ten years later he produced his own very free orchestration incorporating much re-composition , aiming for what he called a more Slavic orchestral sound instead of Ravel's more Gallic approach. Stokowski revised his version over the years and made three gramophone recordings of it , and Although Ravel's version is most often performed and recorded, a number of conductors have made their own changes to the scoring, including Arturo Toscanini , Nikolai Golovanov , Djong Victorin Yu and James Conlon.

Conductor and pianist Vladimir Ashkenazy produced his own orchestral arrangement, expressing dissatisfaction with Ravel's interpretive liberties and perpetuation of early printing errors.

Many other orchestrations and arrangements of Pictures have been made. Most show debts to Ravel; the original piano composition is, of course, frequently performed and recorded. A version for chamber orchestra exists, made by Taiwanese composer Chao Ching-Wen. Kazuhito Yamashita wrote an adaptation for solo classical guitar. The Amadeus Orchestra UK commissioned ten composers to orchestrate one movement each to make a version first performed complete in The suite has inspired homages in a broad range of musical styles.

An electronic music adaptation by Isao Tomita was done in A heavy metal arrangement of the entire suite was released by German band Mekong Delta ; another metal band, Armored Saint , utilised the "Great Gate of Kiev" theme as an introduction for the track "March of the Saint". In Animusic 2 included a track entitled "Cathedral Pictures". Re-issues of the HIStory album further changed the sample on the track.
