I am looking for another piece to work on, and I was thinking of working on Mussorgsky's Pictures at an Exhibition. The two parts of the piece that I like the most happen to be The Great Gates of Kiev and The Hut of Baba-Yaga. My question is, would it be feasible for me to play The Great Gates of Kiev, and does anyone have any suggestions? I know that I really should learn the whole thing chronologically, but I won't have very much time after the summer is over to work on my piano. Also, is The Hut of Baba-Yaga as crazy to play as it looks?
For those who are wondering, things that I have recently played are Beethoven's Moonlight (1st and 2nd movements only), Mozart's Twinkles, Bach's Gigue from Partitia No. 1. |

I am having trouble with the short appoggiaturas (leaping from the appoggiatura to the main chord) in measures 18-29 and 162-169 of "The Great Gate" from Pictures at an Exhibition. Also, the large leaps of both hands in opposite directions in m. 89-106 and 114-161. :P I know these sections hands separate, but I am having trouble joining hands without missing half the notes because I watch where one hand lands but not the other. I try it at a slow tempo, but even then I can't seem to get it.
Any suggestions for how to execute these large leaps? Any help is much appreciated! :) |

I'm working on [i]Pictures at an Exhibition: the Gnome[/i], and came across this symbol.

I'm confused by the 3rd note: the E with two flats in front of it, and then a third flat in the key signature. On the piano the Ebb should be the equivalent of D natural, right? But with the flat in the Key Signature should it be the equivalent of D flat?
Thanks.

What do you know of this piece?
1. It is a piece of program music-a series of episodes all flowing into one another continually.
2. It is approximately a half hour long.
3. It's by Mussorgsky
4. It has been orchestrated by both Ravel and Rimsky-Korsakov, the latter being superior.
Is it very difficult?
Is it showy?
Any stories about it, perhaps? |
