PROMENADE ALONG THE NEXT 3 PAINTINGS
| 7)Bydlo
On his way back from Western Europe to Russia Hartmann lived for one month in the Polish town of Sandomir. He was fascinated by the everyday life in the Jewish slum .The music represents an old Oxwagon with big wooden wheels fatiguiing moving on over the bumpy road. I let it approach out of the distance, "thundering by" (Mind your toes!!) and disappear in the distance again. (best experienced with headphones)  |
Never saw an Oxwagon in your life?? Click on the painting. |
| 8) Ballet of the unhatched chicks in their
eggshells
This sketch for a ballet dress is one of the very few remaining original paintings of Viktor Hartmann by which Mussorgsky iwas inspired to this peace of music This sketch was ment for a ballet named "Trilbi".  |

NINO DI SIMONE I gave him credit for it by linking to his site, but noticed it to be a "dead link" nowadays, without being able to trace him again (Sorry, Nino !) Right: Goldenberg en Schmuyle

9) Samuel Goldenberg and Schmuyle
This paintig was based on a painting of Hartmanns of a rich and a poor Jew of Sandomir on it. It belonged to Mussorgsky and is lost. In Mussorgsky's music you can hear the contrast between the pompous, swollen richman (left) and the complaining arguments of the poor man (right) (presented by the triplets in the music). I show you two other paintings of Hartmanns of a rich and a poor Jew which I "renamed"  |
