Composer and genre required. One of these works is the last track of an album marketed as “The Legendary 1965 Recording” of Martha Argerich.

In the middle section of one of these pieces, the left hand repeats the sixteenth-note ostinato E, D-sharp, (10[2])C-sharp, B in octaves. One of (10[1])these works (10[1])in E-flat (10[1])is preceded by (10[1])a G-major (10[1])“Andante Spianato.” (10[1])The first of these works in their composer’s Opus (10[1])40 features the genre’s typical rhythm (-5[1])of eighth, two (10[1])sixteenths, and four eighths in 3/4 time.
