A hut on chicken legs (Baba Yaga). Hartmann had a sketch of elegant bronze watches in the form of a hut on chicken legs. However, the fantasy of Mussorgsky depicted a completely different-a powerful dynamic image of a woman-yaga, a picture of “evil spirits” filled with “demonic” dissonances (already in the very first tact-a sharp jump on a large septim). Initially, several rare chords of the-tolechs sounds, then they increase, imitating the “run”, from which the “flight in a stupa” begins. Sound “blots” depict negligence and “dirt” in the image of Baba Yaga. Unevenly placed accents imitate the chronic gait of the “bone leg”. Against the backdrop of these sounds, the played by full chords “takes off” a simple and furious melody, as if sweeping away everything in its path. Then, after the transition, a completely different middle part of the play comes, quiet and alarming, complete unstable sounds - either a flight or a night forest. Then - the third part - the repetition of the first topic abruptly bursts, and the play ends with piano cadence from quick alternating sounds through the octave in the “take -off” direction, which ultimately “crash” into the first chord of the final play - “Bogatyrsky Gate” without a break.
