Night on Bald Mountain his manuscripts for publication and created performing editions of his unfinished works to enable them to enter the repertoire. The majority of the editorial work was done by [[Rimsky-Korsakov]], who in 1886 produced a redacted edition of "Night on Bald Mountain" from the "Dream Vision of the Peasant Lad" [[vocal score]]. Rimsky-Korsakov discusses his work on the piece, designated a "fantasy for orchestra", in his memoirs, "Chronicle of My Musical Life" (1909): During the season of 1882/83, I continued working on "[[Khovanshchina]]" and other compositions of Mussorgsky's.

Night on Bald Mountain наилучшим способом мысли Мусоргского. Задача была трудная, удовлетворительно разрешить которую мне не удавалось в течение двух лет, между тем как с другими сочинениями Мусоргского я справился сравнительно легко. Не давались мне ни форма, ни модуляции, ни оркестровка, и пьеса лежала без движения до следующего года.» Rimsky-Korsakov made "corrections" typical of him, as he did with "[[Khovanshchina]]", and was later to do with "[[Boris Godunov (opera)|Boris Godunov]]", preserving the general thematic structure, but adding or omitting bars, and making modifications to melody, harmony, rhythm, and dynamics.
