Okay so I was looking at Rachmaninoff's Etude Tableaux op. 39 no. 2 in A minor and I was wondering how the melody should be played in conjunction to the triplets in the lrft hand as I'm not sure on when the melody should be in between notes..

Eighth notes in the melody come exactly between notes two and three of the triplet. Practice, outside of the piece, sextuplets, exploring the relation between two and three here. In a sextuplet, the notes of a triplet are 1, 3, and 5, and the notes of a duplet (two note) are 1 and 4. Practice two against six, three against six, and two against six (accenting the triplet notes) and three against six (accenting the duplet notes).
