The first étude in C minor, dedicated to E. Mitusov, consists of a regular 24 with triplets against quintuplets or even septuplets at some point. The second étude in D major, dedicated to Nicolas Richter, is in 68 and opposes sixteenth notes against quadruplets and quintuplets. The third in E minor, dedicated to Andrey Rimsky-Korsakov, doesn't require much effort or experience in polyrhythm, while the long legato melody is in the middle voice and the accompaniment figures are in the upper registers. The main trait of the fourth étude in F-sharp major, which is dedicated to Nikolai Rimsky-Korsakov, is its syncopation, present throughout the étude.
