Urtext edition for piano.
Difficulty: difficult.
Amongst the pieces in Rachmaninoffs 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.
