| The Études-Tableaux ("study pictures"), Op. 33, is the first of two sets of piano études composed by Sergei Rachmaninoff. They were intended to be "picture pieces", essentially "musical evocations of external visual stimuli". But Rachmaninoff did not disclose what inspired each one, stating: "I do not believe in the artist that discloses too much of his images. Let [the listener] paint for themselves what it most suggests." | |

However, the sonnet is tingled ever so slightly with sadness. The poet confesses his longing and that his love has only found an outlet in his writings which “have spread her frame.†| |
