Mussorgsky wrote Pictures at an Exhibition as a piano suite because he was not a skilled orchestrator.Group of answer choicesTrueFalse

The statement is False. While it is true that Modest Mussorgsky initially composed "Pictures at an Exhibition" as a piano suite, the claim that he was not a skilled orchestrator is misleading. Mussorgsky had the capability to arrange for orchestra; however, he completed the piano version first, and it was later orchestrated by Maurice Ravel, among others. Ravel's orchestration is renowned and often performed today, but Mussorgsky's original work should be appreciated for its own artistic merit. Thus, Mussorgsky's choice to write the suite for piano first does not stem from a lack of orchestration skills, but rather his initial artistic vision for the piece.
