This medium-sized cache is placed near a cattle pasture which reminds me of the movement, “Bydlo.” This is my favorite movement, and I love how the music portrays an ox feeling trapped as it is pulling a wagon. If you look carefully, you may be able to spot the top of an “old castle” (abandoned house) through the woods.
This three-cache series is dedicated to a composer many forget–Modest Mussorgsky. His composition for piano, Pictures at an Exhibition, was not even published until five full years after his death.
The composition was based on his close friend, Viktor Hartmann’s, paintings. Many of which are lost to this day.
Each movement represents a different painting, and each movement is separated by a “Promenade” which represents the listener walking between the paintings at the exhibition.
As you find the caches in this series, I encourage you to listen to this composition and imagine what you think each movement would look like as a painting.
Happy caching!
Congrats to CemeteryGirl1965 for the FTF!
