Bunch of comments again: I think that the Promenade in Mussorgskys "Pictures" does not relate to a place, but to the act of walking from one picture to another. Promenade in French is a nominalisation which might means either: a walk or a walk... I think, the piece is better understood this way. I found the remark interesting on what composers can do and what they can't because of the instruments' limitations as it ties in with what was said of not having to deal with CPU power when you are Mozart. If I combine that with the way the "Pictures" were (supposedly) expanded by adding orchestral color, one should be surprised to see what the sound chips of the future might come up with. Then again, I said supposedly, as I think Ravel's re-instrumentation is simplistic. It always reminds me of the sarcastic quote I once heared that went something like: "all music can be played on four [five?] instruments, only Americans need more to understand it.
