Modest Mussorgsky Pictures at an Exhibition arranged by Maurice Ravel, edited by Jean-Francois Monnard. Study Score. Ravels brilliant compositional interpretation of the Pictures at an Exhibition is, to this day, the most famous and independent orchestration of Mussorgskys masterpiece. When the French composer turned his attention to his Russian colleagues piano cycle in 1922, he was at the height of his mastery and Paris was enraptured by Russian music. Notated with remarkable accuracy.
