Rachmaninoff - Étude-Tableaux, Op. 39, No. 3 | Stanislav Stanchev
Показать описание
One of my favorite Rachmaninoff Etudes. The Op. 39, No. 3 in fis moll/F♯ minor / Allegro molto. An incredibly complex étude, tone-wise. While it starts off with an angry, frenetic feel... there are some truly beautiful moments scattered throughout the piece. Hope you`ll like it and enjoy! :)

The Études-Tableaux ("study pictures"), Op. 39 is the second set of piano études composed by Sergei Rachmaninoff. They are even fuller, more finely textured and darker than the first set.
The title Etudes-Tableaux / picture etudes was apparently coined by Rachmaninoff, although this form is not unique to him. It is possible that the Transcendental Etudes of Liszt served as a forerunner to the Etudes-Tableaux. Each piece presents a pianistic problem, in the tradition of the etude. In addition to this, an extra-musical idea is implied, although Rachmaninoff was reluctant to reveal any program associated with the Etudes-Tableaux.
He stated, "I do not believe in the artist disclosing too much of his images. Let them paint for themselves what it most suggests."
The Etudes-Tableaux were the last works Rachmaninoff composed in Russia. Author of "Rachmaninoff: His Life and Times", Robert Matthew-Walker, writes that they mark the virtual end of the nineteenth-century tradition of virtuoso writings of the great composer-pianists. He further states that Opus 39 is a hidden set of variations on the composers idée-fixe, the Dies irae, parts of the plainchant being quoted directly in all of the nine studies, particularly obviously in the first five. He adds that in these compositions Rachmaninoff seems to be writing less in the Russian tradition and more in the Central and East-European tradition.
The entire collection contains a vivid rhythmic life of its own. A different harmonic language including modal harmonies is used and can be compared to that of the Third Concerto.
