A Night on Bald Mountain

By Modest Mussorgsky, arranged for piano by Konstantin Chernov.

This is the product of 2 years of work but is still a work in progress. I may try another recording at a later date if I get better at it and don't just drop the whole thing in frustration over how stupidly hard it is to play.

TEMPO!!!

@Norbyyyyy18 Out of curiosity, do you think it should be faster or slower? My performance is about half the speed of the orchestral recording I have, quite a bit slower than the Berezovsky performance (1U2bc96Z3QU) but quite a lot faster than the famous Stokowski recording. There seems to be a huge range in the tempos of various recordings of this piece.

I love piano transcriptions that try to capture the whole orchestra in only 10 fingers. So hard, but always so much musically richer. Very well played - it makes me want to learn it, although I think I'd need at least an hour a day to match your performance here.

Some day. After "Pictures" (talk about a time suck).
