Sergei Rachmaninoff Études-Tableaux Op.39No.5 in E Flat Minor================================Related information:John Ogdon==========Wikipedia Part2-2His own compositions number more than 200, and include 4 operas, 2 large works for orchestra, 3 cantatas, songs, chamber music, a substantial amount of music for solo piano, and 2 piano concertos. The majority of his music was composed for the piano. These include 50 transcriptions of works by composers as diverse as Stravinsky, Palestrina, Mozart, Satie and Wagner. He also made piano arrangements of songs by Cole Porter, Jerome Kern and George Gershwin. He also wrote sonatas for violin, flute and cello, all unaccompanied. A planned symphony based on the works of Herman Melville, and a comic opera, were left unfinished. The original manuscripts of many of John Ogdons compositions now reside at the Royal Northern College of Music Library Catalogue. [2]Ogdon's health was never good, and his physical constitution was not strong enough to carry the burden of his enormous talent. A gentle giant, known and loved for his kindness and generosity, he found it hard to say no and was pushed beyond his strength. In 1973 he experienced a severe breakdown. His illness was never fully diagnosed, but was thought to be schizophrenia (possibly inherited from his father) or manic depression. Ogdon spent some time in the Maudsley Hospital in London, and in general needed more nursing than it was possible to provide while touring. Nevertheless, he was reported to maintain three hours' practice a day on the hospital's Steinway piano....http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/John_OgdonComposition Description======================= by Steven Coburn AllmusicThese Etudes are somewhat longer, more difficult, and more obviously Etudes than those of Opus 33, even though the poetic aspect of the "Tableaux" is still present. They are without exception extraordinarily difficult. #1, in c minor. Flying triplet figurations span the keyboard in this propulsive and driven Etude. There are two powerful climaxes; each preceded by rapidly repeated chords. #2, in a minor. Here Rachmaninov indulges his love of the "Dies Irae" chant, embedding it in the accompaniment of this tragic and powerful Elegy. A contrasting central section builds to a climax that dissipates in chromatic passages before returning to the reprise of the opening. #3, in f-sharp minor. This Etude has interesting and unusual metrical groupings of its underlying triplet rhythms. Combined with the fleeting nature of the figuration, this makes it particularly difficult to develop a sense of a regular beat. The result is effective, if somewhat unsettling. A cadenza ends the piece quietly. #4, in D major. A march-like work with shifting meters. Rachmaninov originally gave no time signature, but most editors have inserted them for the performer's convenience. The Etude is primarily a study in repeated notes and staccato chords. It is one of the less effective pieces in the set. #5, in e-flat minor. This Etude is a somber and grand work, almost too epic in mood for its scale. A powerful theme is played against triplet chords in the main section, while the contrasting middle section features a longing melody accompanied by widespread arpeggiations. The build-up to the return of the main theme is highly effective, and results in an extraordinarily powerful climax. #6, in a minor. Originally part of Opus 33, this Etude's large scale and extreme difficulty seem more appropriate to this set. This exciting and aggressive piece features alternating sections of rapid staccato chords and tricky sixteenth-note figurations. #7, in c minor. An elegiac work that starts out with slow, sustained passages followed by a driving and march-like section. The repeated chords of this passage build to a sonorous climax before subsiding for the quiet ending. #8, in d minor. This beautiful work has an underlying rhythm that makes it sound much like a Barcarolle. The harmonies are lush and romantic, supporting the sparse melodic material, which is constructed primarily of a repeated motive. There is something of a build-up to a subtle and understated climax before the interesting and staccato reprise of the main material. #9, in D major. Much like the final Prélude of Opus 32, this Etude uses material from the other pieces of the set. It is primarily a chord study, ostensibly dramatic, but not highly effective, and somewhat anticlimactic when the entire set is performed as a whole.http://www.allmusic.com/cg/amg.dll?p=amg&sql=42:11409~T1================================ *Note:Support the artist, their families and their legacy by purchasing their music.
