Program Notes
Rachmaninoff's Etudes Tableaux are two sets of piano etudes.  These are “picture pieces,” intended to be studies in musical composition focused on a variety of themes.  Each etude explores a distinct scene left to the listener’s interpretation.   

Op. 33 No. 4, Moderato – This march begins and ends with an open fifth echo-like motif.  As the movement progresses, it gains more textural and harmonic complexity.   

Op. 39 No. 8, Allegro Moderato – This lyrical piece has long legato melodies, requiring precision and agility from the performer.   

Op. 39 No. 4, Allegro Assai – Filled with harmonic color and interweaved motives, this gavotte is pointed and energetic.   

Op 39 No. 7, Lento Lugubre – Slow and laborious, the funeral march is dense with emotion, ending with a glorious bell-like theme.   

Op. 33 No. 6, Allegro con Fuoco - “The Fair” is exuberant in its rhythm and harmony.  The fanfare motifs have a jubilant energy.

Adaptation of the famous fugue from the Toccata and Fugue BWV 565 in D minor from Johann-Sebastian Bach.

The piece has been transposed to G minor for better usage of the flute sound.

The transcription can be played by 2 to 4 C flutes and one alto (G) flute. It also fits well to a flute choir with Alto Flutes (no bass or contrabass flute needed). Parts can be played by intermediate level musicians.

Downloaded file contains score as well as separate parts.
