Pictures at an Exhibition ? A Remembrance of Viktor
Hartmann? is a famous suite in ten movements composed
for piano by Modest Mussorgsky in 1874 and later
orchestrated by various musicians whose most famous is
that of Maurice Ravel in 1922. Hartmann's sketch, now
lost, is thought to represent a design for a nutcracker
displaying large teeth. The lurching music, in
contrasting tempos with frequent stops and starts,
suggests the movements of the gnome.
