Hache, a fine pianist, had performed the solo piano version of Pictures on numerous occasions and wanted to provide more volume, dramatic effects, and orchestral color so he arranged the entire work for two pianos, four hands.
The tune is stated by the trumpets, and when restated, the tune is greatly embellished. The organ pedal part usually doubles the bass line of the left hand, so this could be played on piano if desired.
