1Il Carillon Magico was much more successful. This work had its American première at the Metropolitan Opera House, New York, in 1920. Arturo Toscanini has introduced several orchestral works of Pick-Mangiagalli in America and a number of other conductors have promoted his compositions. He is more conservative than many of his contemporaries, a circumstance which suggests that his works have a better chance of surviving a few performances. In addition to the compositions already mentioned, he has written two other operas, Basi e Bote and Sumitra. His orchestral music includes: Allegro di Concerto, Notturno e Rondo Fantastico, Sortilegi, two preludes, four poems, a small suite, and a prelude and fugue; his chamber music includes a string quartet and a sonata for violin and piano.

13Pictures at an Exhibition, a work by Modest Moussorgsky; the composer's intimate friend, Victor Hartman, a painter and architect, died in the summer of 1873. Friends and admirers planned an exhibition of his works, and Moussorgsky expressed his admiration of Hartman by creating musical reproductions of these pictures. They were originally written for piano, but were arranged by Maurice Ravel for symphony orchestra at the request of Sergei Koussevitzky, who conducted the première of this transcription in Paris on May 3, 1923, and also directed the American première by the Boston Symphony Orchestra on Dec. 3, 1926. The suite is loosely held together by references to the "Promenade" theme between some of the movements. I. Gnomes, II. Il Vecchio Castello (a mediaeval castle), III. Tuileries, IV. Bydlo (a Polish ox-cart), V. Ballet of Chickens in Their Shells, VI. Samuel Goldenberg and Schmuyle, VII. Limoges (the marketplace), VIII. Catacombs, IX. The Hut on Fowl's Legs, X.
