Pictures At an Exhibition sheet music

Pictures at an Exhibition appears here in several sheet-music versions associated with Modest Mussorgsky. The selected scores include a piano score listed under the work's title, a pipe-organ version of 'Promenade I', and a piano piece titled 'Promenade Dans Les Bois' credited to Richard Clayderman and arranged by Jerry Bustillo. Because the versions differ in instrumentation, opening key, and meter, compare the score details before choosing one for your instrument or the section you want to play.

Choosing between the piano listings

Two selected scores are for piano, but they are not identical settings: the score titled 'Pictures at an Exhibition' opens with two flats and 5/4, while 'Promenade Dans Les Bois' opens with one flat and 3/4. The score under the work's title is much longer by its listed note count and duration; 'Promenade Dans Les Bois' is much shorter. Note counts and durations describe individual scores and can be inaccurate, so compare the opening key and meter as well as the title.

Promenade versions for different instruments

A Promenade appears in two selected versions: 'Pictures at an Exhibition (Promenade I)' is set for pipe organ and opens in two flats and 5/4 at a listed 90 BPM, while 'Promenade Dans Les Bois' is a piano score in one flat and 3/4. If you are looking for a Promenade to play, choose by instrument first, then check the opening meter and tempo.

Instrumentation represented in the selection

Among the selected scores, the instrumentation is piano or pipe organ; no orchestral version is included in this selection. The piano score under the work's title is the longest listing, while the organ score is specifically a Promenade I extract. A player wanting a piano reading of the score under the work's title and a player wanting an organ arrangement of Promenade I are therefore looking at different choices.

Arrangement credits and titles

Credits vary across the selected listings: one piano score names Richard Clayderman as composer with Jerry Bustillo as arranger, another gives 'Modeste Moussorgsky' in the composer field, and the organ Promenade has no composer listed. The title 'Promenade Dans Les Bois' also differs from 'Promenade I', so treat these as separate arrangements and check the credit line before selecting a score.

Is the piano score titled Pictures at an Exhibition complete?

Completeness cannot be confirmed from the listing.

In this selection, 'Promenade Dans Les Bois' is a piano score filed under Pictures at an Exhibition but credited to Richard Clayderman as composer, with Jerry Bustillo as arranger. Its title, key, and meter differ from the pipe-organ 'Promenade I', so it should be checked as a separate arrangement rather than assumed to be the same setting.

Can I find an orchestral version here?

The selected scores for Pictures at an Exhibition are for piano and pipe organ only; no orchestral score appears among them. A musician needing an orchestral arrangement would have to look beyond these listed versions.
