Mussorgsky
Pictures at an Exhibition

The clipped staccato and precise tempo of Adam's The Chairman Dances encourages the foot to tap along. The contrast between the simple, strong meter of the Promenade interludes and the sometimes lurching, sometimes lively, sometimes melancholic scenic depictions of paintings in Mussorgsky's Pictures at an Exhibition empower the mind's eye to see as the ear hears.
