In addition, his friend Viktor Hartmann had died, and his relative and recent room-mate Arseny Golenishchev-Kutuzov (who furnished the poems for the song-cycle Sunless and would go on to provide those for the Songs and Dances of Death) had moved away to get married.
Mussorgsky composed the work in commemoration of his friend, the artist and architect Viktor Hartmann, who was only 39 when he died in 1873; the original title for the suite was Hartmann.
It was probably in 1870 and through the highly influential critic Vladimir Stasov that Mussorgsky had met Hartmann, whose devotion to the cause of an intrinsically Russian art must have made him a congenial spirit.

Hartmann drew 17 costume and set designs for the ballet Trilby, four of which are extant.
Hartmann had graduated from the Academy of Fine Arts with honors, and was thus allowed four years abroad at government expense as a sort of post-graduate education.
Hartmann spent three of those years in France, and here made the drawings and paintings that were to become the inspiration for three of Mussorgsky's musical sketches: Tuileries, Limoges, and The Catacombs, represented here.

Während Viktor ins Dorf läuft, um Unterkunft zu suchen, bieten mir drei Halbwüchsige Zigaretten und Wodka an und wollen mich überzeugen, gleich mit ihnen heim zu kommen.

 Schott Music - Shop - Hartmann, Karl Amadeus
The center of Karl Amadeus Hartmann's (1905–1963) oeuvre is occupied by the eight symphonies and the opera Simplicius Simplicissimus.
Moreover, the violin concerto Concerto funebre (1939) became a work of commitment, which Hartmann wanted to be understood as a claim and accusation, as an expression of hopelessness for the mind and, yet in spite of all this, as the never abandoned confidence in the future.
This was followed by the Kunstpreis of the Bayrische Akademie der Schönen Künste (1950), the Arnold Schönberg Medal of the IGNM (1954), the Große Kunstpreis of the Land Nordrhein- Westfalen (1957), as well as the Ludwig Spohr Award of the city of Braunschweig, the Schwabing Kunstpreis (1961) and the Bavarian Medal of Merit (1959).

Zeitgleich machte Hartmann sich an die Revision verschiedener bereits zuvor entstandener Werke, aus der die ersten vier Symphonien in ihrer endgültigen Gestalt hervorgingen.
Hartmann wurde außerdem zum Mitglied der Akademie der Künste Münchens (1952) und Berlins (1955)gewählt und erhielt 1962 die Ehrendoktorwürde der Spokane University in Washington.
Erneut stellte sich die Frage nach Verbindung von polyphoner Kontrapunktik und Ausdruck, die Hartmann in der neuen Symphonie durch das Nebeneinander von polyphonen, konzertierenden und variativen Abschnitten auf der einen und lyrisch-dramatischen Momenten auf der anderen Seite zu lösen suchte.

 Hollywood Bowl - Los Angeles Philharmonic
Viktor Hartmann, an architect, designer, and illustrator, and dear friend of the composer, died suddenly of an aneurism in the summer of 1873.
Hartmann's original is a sketch for a ballet costume for children - arms, legs, and head protruding from an egg.
Based on Hartmann's plans for a commemorative gate which was never constructed, this final movement features a heroic transformation of the promenade theme and brings the work to a ringing close.

When she was visiting at Christmas '02, I added armor and belt to the Viktor outfit I had already started, and supplemented her existing Flik outfit with the boot wraps, a longer headband, the blue thing on the leg, and the cape.
Viktor wasn't quite finished, and I couldn't find the belt I really wanted to use, but...
As you may be able to see, here Viktor's armor is somewhat improved (with a bit of real leather in a lighter color), and I actually have the belt I originally wanted to use, which is long enough to wrap over the shoulder too.

 Karl Amadeus Hartmann   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-26)
Hartmann is the next significant symphonist in the Austro-German tradition after Mahler, and the last 30 years of his career can be viewed as primarily a dialogue with symphonic form, an attempt to establish whether it can have continuing relevance in the terrible times the composer was living through.
The elements of Hartmann's language, ranging from jazz to post-Bergian expressionism and post-Hindemithian motoric toccata writing, often - perhaps predominantly - may seem to fail to cohere into an expressive unity.
Hartmann was the son of one painter and the brother of another.

 Walt Disney Concert Hall - Piece Detail
The "Ballet of the Chicks" was inspired by Hartmann's costume designs for a ballet that included children dressed as eggs.
Mussorgsky took two sketches given to him by Hartmann of two Polish Jews, one rich, the other poor, as the inspiration for "Samuel Goldenberg and Schmuyle." Ravel underlines the contrast, giving the wealthy Goldenberg's music to the strings and Schmuyle's to the trumpet.
Hartmann's sketch of old women quarreling at the market in the French town of Limoges, which the artist visited in 1866, inspired Pictures' next movement, a little scherzo and a companion musically and atmospherically to "Tuileries."

Pictures at an Exhibition is a famous suite of musical pieces; it was composed by Modest Petrovich Mussorgsky originally for piano and first made public in 1874.
The promenade theme is repeated several times, but further and further apart, representing a viewer who is being drawn into the works and becoming lost in thought.
In his manuscript, Mussorgsky states that, “The creative spirit of the dead Hartmann leads me towards skulls, but apostrophises them - the skulls are illuminated from within.” Its meter is 6/4.

Hartmann had played a key role in advising the composer, not least in persuading him to add to his revised version of Boris Godunov a love-scene for the pretender Dmitry and the Polish Princess Marina Mniszek.
The pictorial inspiration began when Hartmann presented Musorgsky with sketches of two Jews — one rich, one poor — which were eventually to find their musical equivalent alongside several other designs not actually on display at the memorial exhibition (where most of the items were for sale, and consequently disappeared into private collections).
Hartmann had painted two quite separate characters; Musorgsky set up a dramatic dialogue between them (and, in his original manuscript, named them Samuel Goldenberg and Schmuyle).

 Sleeve Notes - Music for Organ and Brass
The inspiration for this music was an exhibition in St Petersburg of works by Mussorgsky's artist friend Viktor Hartmann, who had died suddenly at the age of 39 on 23 July 1873.
Mussorgsky was an incomparably greater artist than his friend, but he undoubtedly admired Hartmann's work, and this suite conveys not only the composer's lively response to the drawings and paintings but also the depth of feeling aroused by his friend's death.
Hartmann visited Italy, France, Germany and Poland between 1864 and 1867 and Frankenstein is of the opinion that the picture is question was 'obviously one of Hartmann's architectural water-colours done in Italy'.

To commemorate his narrow escape from death (that he referred to only as "the event of April 4, 1866") he held a competition to design a great gate for the city.
Architect, painter and costume designer Viktor Hartmann won the competition.
The design was well-received and Hartmann thought it was his finest work but it was never built.

There is a Hartmann artwork that shows a definite likeness of such a creature, but it does not appear to be a nutcracker or an ornament.
Hartmann had visited Sandomierz Poland and made many sketches there, perhaps this reflects his involvement with the folk traditions in arts and crafts of the Russian people.
There were two of Hartmann's works that were owned by Mussorgsky, and it is generally agreed that these two, catalog numbers 176 and 177, are the inspiration for this music.

This Hartmann painting was a design for a Petipa ballet entitled Trilby (no connection with du Maurier) which was produced in St. Petersburg in 1876.
The original picture is said to depict Hartmann himself exploring the catacombs by lantern light, with the shimmering light reflecting from the assembled skulls of the departed.
One of Hartmann's more fanciful designs was for a clock in the style of a witch's hut standing on chickens' legs.
