----------------------------Original message---------------------------- ------------------ Hi=21 What a coincidence. Recently I had a request for slides from an orchestra that wanted have images projected on a screen during the performance of this piece, so here is what I found (no slides, by the way=21 :-) ) An illustrated book: Russ, Michael. Musorgsky: Pictures and an Exhibition. Cambridge (England)=3B Cambridge University Press, 1992. Someone also directed me to this website, =22Russisches Musikarchiv=22. Have= a look at it=3B it's great.- http://www.russisches-musikarchiv.de/ On the sidebar, click on =22Auszug: Mussorgskis Bilder einer Ausstellung=22 If you can read German, you will find a lot of useful information about the artist, the composer and their works. The text explains that Mussorgsky's music was freely inspired by the pictures, of which only a few are still extant and are depicted on this site. If you can't read German, enjoy the pictures=21 :-). They are: -Costume design for =22Trilby=22 -2 single drawings of Polish Jews, one rich, one poor -Drawing of Hartmann in the catacombs of Paris -The Clock / Hut of Baba-Jaga -The Great Gate of Kiev I hope this helps.
