Published in July 1922, just months before the Ravel orchestration, of whose project Funtek was seemingly unaware. In contrast to other orchestrations, Funtek's adheres closely to Mussorgsky's original piano version ‖ -- Russ, Michael (1992). Musorgsky “Pictures at an exhibition‖ Cambridge University Press. p.7. Mussorgsky's original piano version is printed below the orchestral score.

The unpublished manuscript set of parts was in The Philadelphia Orchestra library as of 1996, but many sections were not currently in playable condition and the score and parts do not match. Only the sections used in the compilation by Slatkin are in playable shape.‖

This one binds nicely with the followingThis was the first orchestration of "Pictures at an Exhibition" and was made by Mikhail Tushmalov, a pupil of Rimsky-Korsakov. It was not absolutely complete, since it omitted all but the first of the 'Promenades' as well as several of the 'Pictures'. The ones that remain are 'The Old Castle', 'Ballet of the Chicks', 'Samuel Goldenberg and Schmuyle', 'Market Place in Limoges', 'The Catacombs', 'Baba Yaga' and 'The Great Gate of Kiev'.This version was given its first performance in 1891 with Rimsky-Korsakov conducting. Its only recording to date has been by the Munich Philharmonic under Marc Andrae on the BASF label.

The orchestration by Mikhail Tushmalov is actually a suite (which should be obvious with a duration of 20 minutes), and omits all Promenades except the one preceding Limoges in the original (which opens the suite), plus omits Gnomus, Tuileries, and Bydlo. He also cut out three bars from Limoges for some reason. Though the Kalmus score mentions Rimsky-Korsakov on the cover, it seems unlikely that Rimsky had much of a hand in Tushmalov's suite orchestration wise. Rimsky conducted the premiere in 1891.‖
