Rachmaninow, S.: Prélude Op. 32 No.12 g sharp minor

Urtext edition for piano.
Difficulty: difficult.

Amongst the pieces in Rachmaninoff’s 24 Préludes there are three that are particularly popular. These are now all available as single editions: Having already published two »warhorses«, the Préludes in c sharp minor and g minor (Art.Nr. 952963), the one G. Henle is now issuing, the Prélude in g sharp minor, strikes a quieter and more melancholy note. For the new editions of the Préludes the publisher was able to consult the autograph sources in the Glinka Archive in Moscow, enabling him to present these single editions in superb quality. The fingerings are by Marc-André Hamelin, one of the most outstanding pianists of our time and also an expert on late romantic Russian piano music.

Fingering: Marc-André Hamelin.
