Sergei V. Rachmaninoff (1873 – 1943) composed the Six Moments musicaux
op. 16 between October and December 1896, around four years after he had completed his studies at the Moscow Conservatory. By his own account, the reason for their composition was a simple lack of money. (Source: Henle edition preface)

Presto, E Minor: The piece is a major exercise in endurance and accuracy: the introduction opens in a left hand figure requiring span of a tenth interval. Additionally, octave intervals invariably appear before fast sextuplet runs, making quick wrists and arm action necessary. The double melodies Rachmaninoff uses in this work exist purposely to "keep both hands occupied," obscuring the melody and making it difficult for the right hand to project.This is the only piece in the set with indicated pedal markings.
