Who wrote pictures at an exhibition?

Answer 1

Pictures at an Exhibition was first a piano work by Modest Mussorgsky, which was composed by him upon hearing of the passing of his friend the painter of the works. It was then orchestrated by Ravel a number of years earlier.

Each work describes a different picture, as if they were seen at an exhibition in a gallery.

One of them describes the little hut on chicken legs, and is from a Russian folk tale, "The hut of Baba Yaga". The last one is the most dramatic and presents us with the "Great gates of Kiev", the capitol city of the Ukraine.
