Description
The Russian composer Modest Mussorgsky visited an exhibition of paintings and was inspired to translate the paintings he had seen into sound. He wrote "Pictures at an Exhibition" for piano. Later, the French composer Maurice Ravel added to Mussorgsky's work to make it a composition for full orchestra. Both composers combined their senses-seeing and hearing-to create works of art. Can we see sound? Can we hear images?
Cost
