FRÉDÉRIC CHOPIN (1810-1849)
SERGEI RACHMANINOFF (1873–1943)
THE ÉTUDES-TABLEAUX OP. 33 (1911) are “study pictures,” reflect Rachmaninoff’s intention for each piece to be a musical painting or narrative, evoking images and emotions. Op. 33 originally consisted of eight pieces, though only six were published during his lifetime.
TALES OF AN OLD GRANDMOTHER OP. 31 (1918)
SERGEI PROKOFIEV (1891-1953)
The work consists of four short pieces, each capturing the spirit of Russian folk storytelling, with melodies that evoke the gentle reminiscences and playful anecdotes of an elderly grandmother.
IGOR STRAVINSKY (1882-1971)
TANGO (1940) is Stravinsky’s only tango, composed after he moved to the United States. It reflects his fascination with popular dance forms.
PIANO RAG MUSIC (1919) While living in France Stravinsky became inspired by Rag time music and created his own, unique version. The piece was dedicated to Rubenstein to encourage him “to play contemporary music”.
