Picturing Rachmaninoff 2023 Interactive Edition

By Stephen Cook

Picturing Rachmaninoff presents recordings of Sergei Rachmaninoff's 9 Etudes-Tableaux, Op. 39 for piano in combination with masterpieces of painting and literature. Though he titled the included works 'Etudes-Tableaux' or 'Picture Studies, ' Rachmaninoff did not publish specific descriptions of the images he meant to evoke in the music. This book seeks to name the unnamed Tableaux through the use of artistic fusion.

Originally published in 2010, this 2023 interactive version of the book features new poems and paintings as well as QR links to audio recordings of the piano music and spoken poetry performed by Stephen Cook, pianist.

Original poetry translations have been created for this book by Alyssa Gillespie.
