Excellent publication of great arrangement of a great work!!! Congratulations to Boosey and Hawkes for here republishing a staple of the orchestral repertoire (Maurice Ravel did an outstanding job of arranging Musórgskiy's piano original, though I wish he had included the "Promenade" immediately prior to "The Market-Place at Limoges"), with beautiful layout and a scholarly quality in terms of editing out mistakes in the previous edition. I'm al. A Must Have! Douglas Pew Moussorgsky's most famous work, "Pictures at an Exhibition" (orch. by Maurice Ravel) is available is this very nice edition from the Boosey & Hawkes Masterworks Library. This work has been one of the most performed orchestral works by American symphony orchestras over the past few years and is a major piece in the repertoire. This is considered to be the definitive edition of this great pie. "Excellent Version of the Orchestral Score" according to Mark D. Burgh. Mussorgsky's music is well known, well used in many ways. This arrangement of his most famous piece, a collection of piano sketches based on an art exhibition of a recently deceased friend, honors the source, but colors the music with strong textures, often brilliantly applied. The true majesty of some of the melodies comes through due to Ravel's musical imagination. Boosey & Hawkes present
