Note on Prelude music: “Baba-Yaga” (“The Witch”), Op. 39, No. 20, in
Tchaikovsky’s  Album for the Young: In Slavic folklore Baba-Yaga was an
ogress who, like the witch in Hansel & Gretel, had similarly peculiar
dietary preferences. She lived with two or three sisters, all curiously
known as Baba-Yaga, in a forest hut that continuously spins on fowl legs.
In his suite Pictures at an Exhibition, Modest Mussorgsky gave the title
“Hut of Baba-Yaga” to the penultimate movement. In Russian, depending on
context, Baba can mean grandmother, sorceress, fortune-teller, or witch.
Yaga could mean serpent, wood nymph, or evil woman.
