when Mendelssohn was told that music is too vague to be represented by musical notation, He replied, on the contrary, that music is too precise every to be captured by notation.

yt Giovanbattista Gervasio sonata in Re maggiore, Giuseppe Anedda Mandolino
Maurice Ravel orchestrated it about half a century later. This is the version we can hear here.
Several other composers have tried their own orchestrations, but Ravel's version is widely considered the most brilliant one and the most popular one today.
However, Vladimir Ashkenazy for instance in an interview prefered the
much lesser known orchestration by the equally lesser known Finnish
conductor and composer of Slovenic origin, Leo Funtek. Some recordings
of that version are here on youtube !
( Ashkenazy also did his own orchestration, which he recorded with the
Philharmonia Orchestra London in 1983. )
Ashkenazy considered Ravel's orchestration a bit "too polished" and
therefore lacking the rawness of Mussorgsky's original, to some extent
at least, though he still called it absolutely brilliant and masterfully
done.
But it was simply too perfect in his opinion.
He also critizised some liberties Ravel had allowed himself by slightly
changing the score, adding or dropping some notes here and there.
He had also dropped the entire fifth promenade.
And regardless of the best efforts of brilliant orchestra arrangers like Ravel or Funtek, Ashenazy regarded Mussorgsky's original for solo piano as still the best and most persuasive version, because it would have its own, rich and unique colorfulness, that simply cannot be fully translated in an orchestration.
