Description
This is a piano version of the symphonic poem depicting a gathering of witches on a Russian mountain. Dense chords and sweeping passages across the keyboard attempt to capture the orchestral power of the original, making it a substantial, demanding work reflected in its length and note count. Widely known for its use in Disney's Fantasia, it suits advanced pianists drawn to its eerie, fantastical atmosphere.
A broad collection of standalone piano pieces not belonging to any specific set, offering hundreds of varied character pieces to explore and compare.
