Pictures at an Exhibition (1874) – Centennial Edition  

Composer: Modest Mussorgsky  
Publisher: G. Schirmer, Inc.  
Series: Schirmer Library of Classics  
Instrument: Piano Solo  

Introduction:  
Pictures at an Exhibition is one of Mussorgsky’s most well-known piano cycles, composed in approximately three weeks in 1874. It was inspired by the drawings and watercolors of his friend, the Russian artist Victor Hartmann. While many versions of the score have been produced over the years, this edition presents Mussorgsky’s work as originally composed, preserving the authenticity and essence of the composer’s vision. The cycle depicts Hartmann's artwork in vivid, programmatic music, full of rich textures and dramatic contrasts.

Performance Tips:  
- Pay close attention to the programmatic nature of each movement, imagining the scenes or subjects Mussorgsky is depicting.
- In pieces like The Great Gate of Kiev, the music demands grandeur and force, while in The Old Castle or The Catacombs, the mood is more somber and reflective.  
- The tempo and dynamic contrasts throughout the cycle are vital in portraying the visual elements of Hartmann’s works.

Composer Bio:  
Modest Mussorgsky (1839–1881) was a pioneering Russian composer, best known for his powerful musical storytelling and innovative harmonic structures. A member of the group known as "The Mighty Handful," his music often incorporated elements of Russian folk music, achieving a uniquely nationalistic sound. Pictures at an Exhibition is considered one of his most enduring works and remains a staple of the piano repertoire.

展覽會的畫作 (1874) – 百年紀念版  
作曲家： 莫杰斯特·穆索爾斯基  
出版社： G. Schirmer, Inc.  
系列： Schirmer Library of Classics  
樂器： 鋼琴獨奏  

簡介：  
展覽會的畫作是穆索爾斯基最知名的鋼琴組曲之一，創作於1874年，僅用了三週時間。此曲集的靈感來自於穆索爾斯基的朋友、俄羅斯畫家維克多·哈特曼的畫作和水彩畫。雖然這部作品多次經過改編，但本版以穆索爾斯基最初的版本呈現，保留了作曲家的原創意圖。這部作品以生動的音樂語言描繪了哈特曼的作品，富有豐富的音色和戲劇性對比。

演奏提示：  
- 注重每一首作品的程式性，想象穆索爾斯基所描繪的場景或主題。  
- 在像《基輔大門》這樣的作品中，音樂要求宏大和強烈，而在《老城堡》或《地下墓穴》中，情緒則偏向更為憂鬱和反思。  
- 曲集中的節奏和動態對比至關重要，有助於呈現哈特曼畫作中的視覺元素。

作曲家介紹：  
莫杰斯特·穆索爾斯基（1839–1881）是俄羅斯作曲家，因其強烈的音樂敘事能力和創新的和聲結構而聞名。他是“強大五人組”之一，創作中常融合俄羅斯民間音樂元素，形成獨特的民族主義音樂風格。展覽會的畫作被視為他最具持久影響力的作品之一，至今仍是鋼琴文獻中的經典之作。
