Later he elimintaed Etude in A Minor (No.3) and Etude in D Minor (No.5) from this set (on this recording they have been restored). The famous Etude in A Minor was transferred by the composer from the first set of Etudes-Tableaux into the second op.39, on which he worked in 1916-1917. On this recording this Etude is designated as No.6 in op.39. The title "Etudes-Tableaux" to the set of pieces of op.39 was not affixed immediately, When three of these pieces were first played in St. Petersburg on December 5, 1911 they were called preludes-tableaux and received their present title only a few days later, after their introduction in Moscow on the 13th of December.
