Prélude g minor op. 23 no. 5-As indestructible as Rachmaninoff s C-sharp-minor Prélude (HN 1211) may be it is not his only Prélude to have begun a solo career of its own: with its rousing rhythms and rhapsodic middle section the famous piecein G minor certainly takes its place among them. Pianists who aren t yet ready to tackle the complete cycle of 24 Préludes (available as HN 1200) can still enjoy Rachmaninoff at his best with this work.Inconjunction with Moscow s Glinka Archives we were able to consult the autograph sources for our Urtext edition of the Préludes which means that this single edition thus also benefits from the Urtext s excellent editorial andgraphic quality. As with all of our Rachmaninoff editions the fingerings were once again provided by Marc-André Hamelin.

The Rachmaninov Prelude is one of those classics you can name in three notes. A global success shortly after he first performed it in 1892, the Prelude has become a rite of passage for advancing pianists. Its dynamic chordal passages, slow-building middle section, and clanging finale bring forth the full power of the instrument, solidifying the Prelude's place in the repertoire. In preparing the urtext edition, Reutter and Franke have consulted the autograph and first print, as well as Rachmaninov's own recordings of the piece.

This thrilling arrangement of Sergei Rachmaninov's Prelude in G Minor, arranged by Tanner Otto, is sure to get the adrenaline flowing. The bold and assertive melodies are as fun to play as they are to listen to. This piece is great for developing and refining the staccato bow stroke and for tone development. A perfect festival piece or concert finale! (3:20).
