pictures at an exhibition

[dacster]

Looking for sheet music, tabs will do but std. notation would be better, for Mossorgsky's Pictures at an Exhibition. In particular the movement called "the old castle".

You're not going to find guitar notation for this:

The orchestral score is out of print, but I'm sure you could find it if you look around,

Believe it or not I did find a guitar transcription very late last night. Kazuhito Yamasheta (it's "ita" but the bad word filter wont let me spell the man's name correctly) transcribed it. He transcribed the piece for solo guitar and four guitars. The only place I found that sells the piece is in London. So I will keep hunting around to see if I can find it local.

if you want to hear a very interesting version of "pictures at an exhibition" Emerson Lake and Palmer did it live in the early 70s, and the concert they did it at is on a CD. It is VERY interesting.......

yeah, but mussogorsky used alot of really low notes in most of his movements, so its hard to replicate that sound on a guitar without lots of low tuning
