Help me put a name to this classical music piece...
This 15 second mp3 clip should be enough. I first heard it when playing The Incredible Machine when i was a kid, and it's stuck in my head ever since!

Overture or Intro to "Pictures at an Exhibition" by Mussorgsky (sp?).
Rimsky-Korsakov also did an orchestral version, with a lone trumpet starting the melody. |

[/ QUOTE ] There are a few different orchestrations of the piece. I think you are thinking of the one by Ravel not Rimsky-Korsakov. For the OP, if you're looking for a recording of the original piano version, try and find Sviatoslav Richter's Sofia Recital on the Phillips label. For the orchestral version look for Reiner and the Chicago Symphony on RCA/Living Stereo. Allan |
