In 1873 Victor Hartmann , a well-known architect and painter, member of Balakirev's circle, and close friend of Stassov, the critic, died at the early age of thirty-nine. Mussorgsky, one of his closest friends, was deeply upset, and in the following year when Stassov arranged an exhibition of Hartmann's water-colours and drawings he was moved to compose a cycle of ten piano pieces based on various subjects from Hartmann's pictures. These he entitled ' Pictures from an Exhibition.' The pieces are here and there linked with a short prelude entitled ' Promenade.' which represents the composer walking from one picture to another.
