Pictures At An Exhibition "the pictures"

[XtremeEuph]

Hello folks,

Can anyone direct me to all the pictures that depict each movement of Mussorgsky's (/Ravel's) famous "Pictures At An Exhibition"? I'm doing a music history paper on 2 of the movements. Bydlo being one for sure..any other suggestions that are interesting comparing the music to the picture?

Thanks Alot

This wiki is pretty accurate

An AWESOME latin jazz version of "The Old Castle" by Ray Barretto


and of course...Bydlo

I researched this a little when writing program notes for my own orchestra when we last performed Pictures. I believe the picture of Bydlo is lost, but was reported to show a struggling ox cart.

section 6. Sites showing the “Pictures”

A site showing the few Hartmann “Pictures” that are still extant. “There are no more pictures to be found on the web. I'm searching for years now and I'm pretty sure of it.”-- Hans van Riezen

If you do a Google Image search for "victor hartmann" you'll find jpg images of all of the works that Mussorgsky used that still survive, along with some other Hartmann images. Here are the Mussorgsky images within a descriptive Web page: http://www.stmoroky.com/reviews/gallery ... rtmann.htm" target="_blank
--------------
Nine of the paintings and sketches are featured on this site:
[These may not be the ones Mussorgsky used. See the note below.]
* Go to the website http://www.russisches-musikarchiv.de" target="_blank /
* In the left frame...- Click "Bilder" under the blue heading "Einblick ins Archiv" and then the collage of three pictures at the top of the page to access the Limoges, Cathedral, and Nuter (the Gnomus). The third one doesn't appear to be Bydlo.
* In the left frame again, click "Auszug: Mussorgskys Bilder einer Ausstellung." In the left column of the resulting page, you'll find the Chicken Costume (for the Ballet), Catacombs (which also represents the "With the dead in a dead language"), Samuel Goldenberg, Schmuÿle, Hut of Baba Yaga, and Great Gate of Kiev. Les Tuileries and Bydlo are not there.

“It is likely that the pictures provided on the Hartmann galley at this website are not the ones Mussorgsky used in his "Pictures." The sketches are supposedly of a Limoges market woman, The Cathedral, a Jewish market woman (different from the first sketch), and the Gnomus. The Gnomus in particular was said to be lost long ago, which leads one to think the strange rooster device is not the correct painting. Also, note how these sketches are NOT under the "Pictures at an Exhibition" page, leading one to think that these Hartmann sketches were some not used in Mussorgsky's piece. Thus, although the pictures may not be the ones in which Mussorgsky found inspiration; they can give us a general idea of what he drew upon.”

Who knew there were lyrics to the Great Gate of Kiev?
