P.S. Apart from the new Russian and Henle Urtext editions, the two posth. Etudes-Tableaux
are included in op. 33 as No. 3 and No. 5 respectively. In many editions op. 33 No. 4 is missing (see below)!

From the foreword to the „Zen-On“ edition:

„The first set of the Etudes-Tableaux op. 33, was composed in 1911. Rachmaninoff composed nine pieces at first,
but he withdrew three of them: No. 3 in C minor, No. 4 in A minor and No. 5 in D minor, before publication in 1914.
Later No. 4 become No. 6 of the op. 39 set of Etudes-Tableaux.“

Wonderful, Alfred. With all this Rach to play with, it looks like I may have several MONTHS of worth of work ahead. IMHO these Etude-Tableau are real core pieces, along with Liszt's etudes and deserve all the work one can put into them. I'll work on these a bit slowly, pending Alfor potential revisions. I don't have the Henle Edition and have been reluctant to buy it as with Hamelin as fingering editor, he could finger it for thumbs only and he could make then sound better than my renditions. Anyway, my piano bench will be warm for quite a while now!

Querido amigo fleubis,

you can view the Henle/Hamelin fingering ONLINE!! (See link above)
BTW: Even H. puts his pants on one leg at a time (his pants are unusually short, though, imho.)

I would like to have your opinion!

All best

Many thanks Ilu, duly noted.

Its often hard to ascertain dates for any number of Russian composers..............especially dates of death, so much appreciated.
