Sergei Rachmaninov ： Etude-Tableau a-moll Op.39-6

This dramatic piece is often linked to the image of “Little Red Riding Hood and the Wolf,” with growling low registers and sharp repeated notes creating a sense of pursuit. Its main difficulties are rapid repeated notes, leaps, and tense figurations that must remain controlled at high speed. The performance should not rely on aggression alone; the contrast between dark bass sonorities and biting treble gestures is essential for creating its vivid narrative atmosphere.
