[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
