    5. Steinway's 'Pictures at an Exhibition' piano

    The piano's designer, Paul Wyse, commented: "I wanted to use the Steinway piano to tell a story, not just of Mussorgsky’s piano suite, but of everything surrounding it…. For me it’s about capturing the mystery of the Russian soul, and all its facets; fairy tale, legend, history, and fascinating politics all come together in a dramatic and surprising way."
