--Pictures at an Exhibition was originally written as a suite in ten movements for Piano in 1874.
--It has become a showpiece for virtuoso Pianists and further known through a number of orchestrations and arrangements with Maurice Ravel's being the most performed by far.
--Ralph Sauer's landmark arrangement very successfully captures the spirit of the composition by carefully planning rests and managing the technical split between Tubist and Pianist.
--This arrangement is about 30 minutes in length and playable by advanced performers.
--It is a major new addition to the Tuba repertoire.
