Submission Pictures at an Exhibition - Bydlo

Here's an arrangement of the first third of Mussorgsky's Bydlo, taken from Pictures and an Exhibition. I had intended to do a solo bass arrangement in the spirit of Kazuhito Yamashita's guitar performance, but concluded pretty quickly that without the feel of massive ponderous torque, the piece really wouldn't work, doubly so on a bass. So, this one's for two basses, melody line's tenuto intact.

I think I've pushed the low interval limit as far as it can possibly go on this one.
