Rachmaninoff Etude-Tableau in E-Flat Major, Op. 33 No. 7

This brilliant, militaristic etude-tableaux (study picture) is a study in leaps, wrist rotation, and precision in playing the hands together. Rachmaninoff published this etude as No. 4 in his first set of etudes-tableaux in 1914. Because some etudes in the original set were published at a later time, this piece could be numbered as 4, 6, or 7. This performance is by Grant Smith.

Because I’m seeing a lot of negative comments here, let me just clarify a few things: I recorded this on a midi keyboard and later rendered the audio through PianoTeq, a virtual instrument software. I apologize for the poor audio quality, I was simply using the best recording materials I had at the time. I was 18 when I recorded this, I was professionally oriented towards engineering and was not taking piano lessons. This was just a summer project and I was not expecting this many views. I have since invested thousands of hours in my playing, and my more recent videos are of much higher quality.
