Pictures at an Exhibition - 2024 ACF Winter

Question

A 1984 performance at a Toronto classical music festival proved that Kazuhito Yamashita could actually play his highly technical arrangement of this piece, which features nearly impossible trills in its “Gnomus” movement. For 10 points each:

[10e] Name this piano work by Modest Mussorgsky whose movements include “The Hut on Fowl’s Legs” and “The Great Gate of Kiev.”

ANSWER: Pictures at an Exhibition [or Kartinki s vïstavski; or Tableaux d’une exposition]

[10m] Yamashita is a virtuoso on this instrument for which he arranged Pictures at an Exhibition. A concerto for this solo instrument is the best-known concerto by Joaquín (“hwa-KEEN”) Rodrigo.

ANSWER: guitar

[10h] Yamashita used two black stars in this movement to indicate eighth notes to be played as eight 64th notes over a plodding G-sharp B ostinato. This movement opens with a high tuba solo in Ravel’s orchestration of Pictures at an Exhibition.

ANSWER: “Bydło” [accept “Cattle” or “Oxen”]
