Rachmaninoff: Études-tableaux Op. 39, No. 1 // Richter

The Études-Tableaux ("study pictures"), Op. 39 is the second set of piano études composed by Sergei Rachmaninoff.
This quick-paced étude demands a tireless right hand, a syncopated left hand and considerable dexterity. Technically, the music is in an almost continual climax. It bears a resemblance to Chopin's Prelude in Eb minor.
Performed by Sviatoslav Richter (Prague, June 2nd 1984)

Richter is a legend for using synthesia in 1984 🤯. But seriously great upload

[@yagiz885]

its very nice to see you uploading videos frequently, keep up!

[@Henri.d.Olivoir]

Indeed!

[@PianoCzarX]

Sometimes I tend to get stuck working on a longer project and forget that I can make a video like this one in less than a day

[@Dylonely42]

Indeed

[@Henri.d.Olivoir]

@@Dylonely42 I just love how you are everywhere!

[@Dylonely42]

@@Henri.d.Olivoir It’s pleasing from Chopin

[@TheJedo]

I always obsess over the bit at 0:27

[@BeMusical.]

I love this etude! Epic work! I hope you'll do 2nd etude someday! ...or even complete the whole set👀

[@PianoCzarX]

Would be very nice to eventually do Richter's whole Etudes-tableaux 1984 recording, which contains Op. 39 No. 2

[@composerjalen]

@@PianoCzarX does that mean reuploading the ones you did with Lugansky's recordings? Would definitely be a lot of work, but Richter is SO good

[@PianoCzarX]

​@@composerjalen Yes, I think I would re-do Op. 39 No. 9. It is not too challenging to sync anyway so that should be fine

[@konstantin1943]

Rachmaninoff and Richter 🤯. Amazing duo

[@konstantin1943]

btw it will be a huge honor for us if such a legend like you join our discord server. There we talk about music and synthesized videos. Did I get you interested? If yes, then you need to temporarily disable the removal of links so that I can share it. Then turn it back on

[@PianoCzarX]

I don't have link blocking turned on but for some reason indeed every link has been getting removed without my knowledge. Also I don't use Discord, but I appreciate the invitation

The best rach etude

[@DemirSezer]

[@kofiLjunggren]

1:38 is 🌶

[@composerjalen]

What a banger

[@thenameisgsarci]

yeahhhhhhhhhhhh

[@DemirSezer]

hi g'love!

[@kallehed6330]

Was just playing this!

[@Henri.d.Olivoir]

Gotta love Rachmaninoff!

[@freezafrezado9472]

Great to see you again! Rachmaninoff etudes are the best 🤘🤘🤘

[@cadenzalien4554]

Wow, one of my favorite Rach etudes! Thank you for this, glad to see you upload regularly again :)

[@ZKLofiTone]

know we talking!! A new etude and classical music once more!!!

[@TrushKEENMusic]

Dear author, I'm very glad to find this channel today. You do a great work, it's amazing! And not only in terms of content. How long do you make your videos? I think, it's very long and difficult process. That's why it's also great work. You made videos about a lot of classical music, piano and ORCHESTRA, you are great! It's necessary and simply cool. I'm a professional pianist himself, and I see that you are professional pianist too, and you make professional videos about great music and sometimes about great performers too. Thank you very much for your content! Unfortunately, you are underrated, but professional musicians understand how cool what you do. P.S. Special thanks for The Rite of Spring and pieces performed by Richter!!!

[@PianoCzarX]

Thank you!

[@PIXELATEDBIRDO]

Keep up the good work buddy! 😉

[@taiteyard3567]

Richter is so good, he’s known to make the piano strings reveal bell tones…

[@os4mike]

From force you think?

[@taiteyard3567]

⁠@@os4mikeIt was a joke. PianoCzarX edited in the sound of a bell tuned to C at the final chord. Richter does play exceptionally forcefully though, it’s a common joke to mention the Richter Scale in regard to his performances.

[@Imbraden]

nice

[@viggos.n.5864]

The two OGs

[@leonlinton634]

Would you have any interest in making a video with something by Kapustin?

[@PianoCzarX]

I really like his music, but probably won't be able to make a video

[@BeMusical.]

Uploading composers who died recently seems a bit risky

[@WEEBLLOM]

​@@konstantin1943There's no problem with uploading his music as long as you don't upload the sheet music or a copyrighted recording

Way too fast I'm sorry but this interpretation has no color at all.
