"Gnomus Remix (after Mussorgsky/Ravel)" is a contemporary classical piece composed by Matthias Arfmann. The piece was composed in 2016 and premiered on October 22, 2016, at the Elbphilharmonie in Hamburg, Germany. The piece is a remix of "Gnomus," the first movement of Modest Mussorgsky's "Pictures at an Exhibition," which was later orchestrated by Maurice Ravel. Arfmann's remix takes the original melody and transforms it into a modern electronic composition. The piece is characterized by its use of electronic beats and synthesizers, which create a driving rhythm that underlies the melody. Arfmann also incorporates elements of hip-hop and trap music, which give the piece a contemporary edge. Despite the modern elements, Arfmann remains faithful to the original melody, which is recognizable throughout the piece. He also incorporates other elements from "Pictures at an Exhibition," such as the use of brass and percussion instruments. Overall, "Gnomus Remix (after Mussorgsky/Ravel)" is a unique and innovative take on a classic piece of music. Arfmann's use of electronic elements and contemporary music styles breathes new life into the original melody, while still paying homage to the original composition.
