Urtextausgabe für Klavier.
Schwierigkeitsgrad: schwer.
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
piece in 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.
In conjunction 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 and graphic quality. As with all of our Rachmaninoff
editions, the fingerings were once again provided by Marc-André
Hamelin.
Editor: Dominik Rahmer.
Composer: Sergei Wassiljewitsch Rachmaninow.
