There is a tendency
to think of each of the arts as a separate area of activity. Many artists,
however, would testify to the fact that there has always been a warm
relationship between the various spheres of human activity. For example, in the
late nineteenth century the connection between music and painting were
particularly close. Artists were commissioned to design costumes and sets for
operas and ballet, but sometimes it was the musicians who were inspired by the
work of contemporary painters. Of the musical compositions that were conceived
as responses to the visual arts, perhaps the most famous is Mussorgsky’s
Pictures at an Exhibition. Mussorgsky composed the
piece in 1874 after the death, at the age of 39, of the artist Victor Hartmann.
Though their friendship had not been a particularly long-standing one,
Mussorgsky was shattered by Hartmann’s untimely death. The following year a
critic, Vladimir Stasov, decided to hold an
exhibition of Hartmann’s work. He suggested that Mussorgsky try to soothe his
grief by writing something to commemorate Hartmann’s life and work. The
exhibition served as Mussorgsky’s inspiration. The ten pieces that make up
Pictures at an Exhibition are intended as symbols rather than representations
of the paintings in the exhibition. Between each is a promenade, as the
composer walks from one painting to another. The music is sometimes witty and
playful, sometimes almost alarming and frightening, but always spellbinding.
Through a range of starling contrasts, Mussorgsky managed to convey the spirit
of the artist and his work.
