on Mar 31st, 2009Sergei Rachmaninov Etude – tableaux Op. 33 No. 1 in F minor
This piece is a study on alternating hands and syncopations. The piece shifts unsteadily throughout in time signature from 2/4, 3/4, 4/4, 5/4, and 3/2. Some find parallels between this piece and Chopin’s Etude Op. 25 No. 4, jestingly saying that Rachmaninoff played it while writing this etude.
