The Russian composer Modest Mussorgsky (1839-1881) was self-educated to a large extent but went on to become one of the ?Mighty Five? which also included Balakirev, Cui, Borodin and Rimsky-Korsakov. Today he is considered the innovator of Russian music par excellence. He composed Pictures at an Exhibition in 1874, inspired by ten pictures produced by his then recently deceased friend, the Russian architect and artist Victor Hartmann. The French composer Maurice Ravel made an orchestration of Mussorgsky?s composition in 1922 which is now more well-known and more performed than the original piano suite. For his transcription of Pictures at an Exhibition, Tohru Takahashimade use of the original piano composition by Mussorgsky. The Great Gate of Kiev, issued here separately, is probably the best known melody from this classical masterpiece.

De Russische componist Moessorgsky (1839-1881) componeerde Pictures at an Exhibition (Schilderijententoonstell ing) in 1874. Zijn inspiratiebron vormden tien schilderijen van de hand van zijn overleden vriend Victor Hartmann,een Russisch architect en kunstenaar. De Franse componist Maurice Ravel maakte in 1922 een orkestratie van Moessorgsky’s compositie - deze is bekender en wordt meer uitgevoerd dan de oorspronkelijke pianosuite. Voor zijn ¬transcriptievan Pictures at an Exhibition gebruikte Tohru Takahahsi echter de originele compositie van Moessorgski. Dit afzonderlijk uitgegeven deel, The Great Gate at Kiev, is waarschijnlijk het bekendst.

Obwohl der russische Komponist Modest Petrowitsch Mussorgski hauptsächlich als Komponist von Opern und Liedern bekannt ist, schrieb er auch eine Anzahl von bedeutenden Klavierwerken, wie zum Beispiel die weltberühmte Suite Bilder einer Ausstellung, die vielen besser in der Orchestrierung von Maurice Ravel bekannt ist. Für seine Transkription von Bilder einer Ausstellung griff Tohru Takahashi jedoch auf die ursprüngliche Komposition von Mussorgski zurück. Der separat veröffentlichte Satz Das große Tor von Kiew ist daraus der wohl bekannteste Teil, der immer wieder gerne gespielt und gehört wird.
