Description

S. V. Rachmaninoff created two cycles of etudes-tableaux – six (Op. 33) and nine pieces (Op. 39); the author decided not to publish two more etudes. Each of these pieces is aimed at solving a separate technical problem and at the same time has programmatic features.

This volume contains the texts of both cycles of etudes-tableaux; two pieces that were not published during the composer’s lifetime are included in the Appendix. All of them have been verified against autographs and/or lifetime publications. The publication is provided with commentaries.

Intended for researchers of S. V. Rachmaninoff’s work and the history of Russian musical culture, for concert and pedagogical practice and music libraries.
