This informative and wide-ranging guide places the original piano
work in the context of Russian cultural life, considering in
particular the work of the artist Victor Hartman, creator of the
pictures that inspired Musorgsky's composition. A detailed synopsis
takes the reader through each piece in turn, and subsequent
chapters consider the musical language and structure. Michael Russ
also describes the fate of the work in the hands of editors and
performers and closes by surveying the best of the orchestrations,
particularly Ravel's.
