Ah yes, Feinberg is one of the best composers ever, unlike Scriabin, Chopin, Bach, and Mozart, who made gabrage pieces and are incompetent in their fields
Lugansky and Rachmaninoff. A match made in Heaven. No. 8 is my favorite of Op. 33, not only because it's so dark and dramatic, but also because the opening sounds like a slight (perhaps unintentional) reference to the Prelude in C-sharp minor. P. S.: I also love the ending of No. 7. Such a beautiful tribute to Chopin and his 1st Ballade
9:34 ill never forget, the first time i listened to all the etude tableau and got to this part I loved this build up and climax so much, I thought it was one of the best moments in all his etudes. You can only imagine how pleasantly surprised I was having heard the 2nd movt of rach 4 for the first time. Hearing him reuse this part of this etude for that was incredible.
This set is often overshadowed by Op 39(not that Op 39 bad, it's really good), but I find that very unfair. Some of Rachmaninoff's best musical material is here. Many studies evoke a picturesque scene using innovative harmony and rhythm, most notably Eb minor and C# minor. It's a shame that more people don't recognize Op 33 among Rach's best works. *Edit - Also great work :) the effects are stunning *Edit 2 - I just had to point out how inexplicably good this run sounds : 23:09
Oh my goodness! Brilliant work, your accuracy in synchronizing the midi file to the original source audio is astoundingly good! I've seen great transcriptions using this technique, but this is by far the best so far.
