Pictures at an Exhibition

Description

Composed in 1874 for solo piano, Modest Mussorgsky's Pictures at an Exhibition was inspired by an art exhibition featuring works by his late friend, Viktor Hartmann. Each movement portrays a specific image, linked by a recurring “Promenade” theme that reflects Mussorgsky's walk through the gallery. This advanced flute duet arrangement is scored for Flute 1 doubling on piccolo and Flute 2 doubling on alto flute, capturing the essence of the original while exploring the expressive possibilities of the flute family.
