The Quiet Revolutionary of the Piano – Fauré’s Complete Piano Works Now on Piano Street

In the pantheon of French music, Gabriel Fauré (1845–1924) often seems a paradox—an innovator cloaked in restraint, a Romantic by birth who shaped the contours of modern French music with quiet insistence. Piano Street now provides sheet music for his complete piano works: a body of music that resists spectacle, even as it brims with invention and brilliance. Read more

Rachmaninoff’s Etudes-Tableaux Op.39, No 8 [D minor]

Rachmaninoff’s Etudes-Tableaux Op.39, No 8 [D minor]

I posted this in the Performance section and Student’s Corner as I felt unsure of where it would be most appropriate - I apologize in advance if this is not the correct forum.

My teacher suggested I work on Rachmaninoff’s Etudes-Tableaux Op.39, No.8 [D minor] while I’m on break. I was wondering if anyone who has played this piece has any advice regarding learning it, technical aspects, etc. Also, does anyone else feel that some of the marked fingerings in this piece are rather strange, in that some are more awkward than necessary? This seems somewhat suspect since a good deal of Rachmaninoff’s piano music almost completely lacks any fingering.
