minor (http://www.classicalconnect.com/Rachmaninov/Etude_Tableaux_Op_39/882);

Sergei Rachmaninoff
The Rachmaninoff Etudes
(1917) represent the Post-Romanticism of the early Twentieth Century. This is Rachmaninoff stubbornly holding onto
the lyricism and rich tonality of the 19th century Romantic tradition
in the face of the atonal revolution.
The Kernis Lullaby (1987) is composed at the other end of the atonality
craze, looking toward a new future that embraces sensuous harmonic color within
a Post-Modern sensibility. Gideon Rubin
