Swirling illustrations majestically transform the making of music into artwork in this tale of friendship and creativity, as we are regaled with the little known tale of Russian composer Modest Mussorgsky's Pictures at an Exhibition. When his friend Victor died unexpectedly, he went into depression; only once he saw an exhibition of his late friend's work did he begin to once again write music. This tale of how he interpreted his friends drawings into music is told in an simple, engrossing style, while vivid hued artwork bring the Russian culture and genius of music to life. 32 pages, softcover. Ages 4-8.
