Par MOUSSORGSKY MODEST / RAVEL MAURICE (Arr.) . Ravel’s brilliant compositional interpretation of the Pictures at an Exhibition is, to this day, the most famous and independent orchestration of Mussorgsky’s masterpiece. When the French composer turned his attention to his Russian colleague’s piano cycle in 1922, he was at the height of his mastery and Paris was enraptured by Russian music. Notated with remarkable accuracy in an autograph score, Ravel’s orchestration was an audience favorite from the very start. Jean-François Monnard, who previously edited the Breitkopf Urtext editions of Boléro , La Valse and Rapsodie espagnole , presents a text in which even the tiniest detail is authentic. The edition not only eliminates many previously undiscovered errors, but also offers a wealth of practical information on the long and multi-faceted performance history of the work, including the metronome markings of great conductors who were connected to the work in a very special manner.

A Symphonic Sketch. Otto M. Schwarz composes not only for symphonic bands, but has written the soundtracks for many films. In this piece, he describes a ride on a roller coaster. At the beginning, the cars are pulled up by a chain. High above the ground the ride begins with all the well-known variations like steep downhill slides and loops, accompanied by the screams of the passengers. Towards the end of the piece, the ride becomes faster and faster, and then comes the end. Roller Coaster must be considered as a musical sketch, and is especially suited as an encore for your concerts. Get in! Let the ride begin!
