Trilha sonora: Quadros de uma Exposição


Modest Mussorgsky
(1839-1881)
Pictures at an Exhibition (Russo: Картинки с выставки – Воспоминание о Викторе Гартмане, Kartínki s výstavki – Vospominániye o Víktore Gártmane, Pictures from an Exhibition – A Remembrance of Viktor Hartmann; Francês: Tableaux d'une exposition) is a suite of ten pieces (plus a recurring, varied Promenade) composed for the piano by Russian composer Modest Mussorgsky in 1874.
The suite is Mussorgsky's most famous piano composition and has become a showpiece for virtuoso pianists. It has become further known through various orchestrations and arrangements produced by other musicians and composers, with Maurice Ravel's arrangement being the most recorded and performed.



(..) The music depicts his tour of the exhibition, with each of the ten numbers of the suite serving as a musical illustration of works by Hartmann.
