Sergei Rachmaninov: The Complete Piano Player: Rachmaninoff: Piano: Instrumental

These 24 preludes and 17 etudes-tableaux include what are possibly Rachmaninoff's finest compositions for solo Piano. Reproduced from authoritative Russian editions Serge Rachmaninoff: Complete Preludes And Etudes-Tableaux includes the popular C-sharp minor prelude Op. 3 No. 2; the G-minor prelude Op. 23 No. 5; and the B-minor prelude Op. 32 No. 10.

From an earlier Belwin Mills edition this is Volume 2 of a series of the piano works of the great Russian-American composer. These compositions were written as 'picture pieces' though Rachmaninoff did not reveal what each piece was to suggest preferring to leave that discovery to the pianist. This book contains the complete Opus 33 and Opus 39 works

Dramatic and lyrical by turns this work displays Rachmaninov's keyboard characteristics: intense Russian flavor rich and bold sonorities compelling rhythmic drive and brilliant virtuosity. Rachmaninov shows here a very fine grasp of the medium of two pianos his haunting sense of melody and his richly harmonic and rhythmic foundation. Altogether it ranks as a very important contribution to two-piano literature. Arranged for 2 Pianos 4 Hands this edition includes two complete copies of the work.

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.

24 Préludes-Based on the Prélude in C sharp minor Op. 3 No. 2 written in 1892 that quickly became world-famous Rachmaninoff composed a further two collections of Préludes in the years up to 1910. These were also published as acomplete volume in 1911.Based on the corresponding models by Chopin Scriabin and their great forerunner J.S. Bach they comprise a cycle of 24 Préludes in all major and minor keys but unlike the other onesare not organised systematically according to keys. A final highlight of late Romantic Piano music which no pianist can ignore.
