Pictures at an Exhibition

Album by Modest Petrovich Mussorgsky & Berliner Philharmoniker & Herbert von Karajan

Pictures at an Exhibition is a suite for piano by Russian composer Modest Mussorgsky, composed in 1874. The work comprises a series of character pieces that evoke visual scenes through vivid melodic motifs, contrasting harmonies and rhythmic impetus, linked by recurring interludes, and it occupies a significant place in Mussorgsky's output as a major piano cycle that has been widely arranged for orchestra and influenced later composers.
