xx Rachmaninov's Prelude Op.3 No.2
June 14, 2009, 12:07:33 PM by rob_the_dude

I've got the Boosey and Hawkes version of this score and I don't know what the natural sign followed by the sharp sign before the majority of the 'F's means. Is this a 'play what you want' sign (although I seriously doubt it) or a fundamental part of music theory that I have missed out on?

It is found in bars:
3, 4, 7, 9 etc.

(I noticed that it is on the Piano Street score for any of you Gold members out there)

Cheers xx

April 04, 2009, 09:31:57 PM by kayordee

Hi,
  I need help with the agitiato section of the famous c-sharp rach prelude. My version does not have any fingerings for this part and i would like to like to learn it with the best fingering for speed - and control if possible. I don't want to learn it  with the wrong fingering and see it fall apart as i get faster. Please, any hekp would be appreciated. Thank You =)

xx Rachmaninoff Prelude C-Sharp Minor
September 29, 2008, 05:06:21 PM by peter.rajkai

I'm new to this forum and sorry for my English...
I'm learning Prelude C#m on my own and I don't understand why I should play the beginning of the piece with interlocking hands when there is an easier way (I hope you know what I mean). I've learned a few measures with the original, interlocking hands and then without it and I can not hear a difference (and I think none of the listeners can hear it).

And another question: I can't find in the scores I have how to use the pedal. I have also a midi file (from NI Akoustik Piano Demo page, anyway what do you think of that performance? http://www.nativeinstruments.de/index.php?id=apsounds&L=1 ) and I'm checking in the midi file how to use the pedal, but it would be easier in a score. Maybe I have it in the score but I can't recognize the sign? Cheesy

September 15, 2008, 11:01:00 PM by tylerhink

Hi, Im having trouble with Prelude in C# minor at measure 35 to 43 where there are those chords that go down the piano.

1st Is it supposed to be faster then all of the other parts of the song? It always sounds that way in recordings.

2nd Any advice on how to get it faster?

Thanks
Tyler

xx Rachmaninov - Prelude Op. 3 No. 2
August 31, 2008, 12:49:56 PM by rv

Hello, here's my recording of the famous prelude.

Recorded from a digital piano Roland hp-201.
Background: Started playing the piano and taking lessons since september last year. At a younger age I had keyboard/synthesizer lessons for 7 years.

Comments welcome. Considering my limited piano experience you can imagine this was kind of a big project for me. Maybe it was too soon for a piece like this. But I'm still happy that I tried. You be the judge and thanks for listening! Smiley

question Rachmaninov Prelude op3 no2
April 08, 2008, 04:39:10 PM by 2bg

Is there a tradition that requires one to play the Rachmaninov Prelude op3 no2, c sharp minor, not as notated? In all the recordings I've heard the 2nd bar is not played as a semibreve in the time of the preceeding quarter notes and  the following eighth notes are played as quarter notes?!

What customers said about pianostreet.com:

"All of my students are members of Pianostreet and many of my teacher colleagues have joined as well.
It is an excellent resource for students and teachers alike and there is very rarely any need to visit another website or music store in search of sheet music."

Andrea Boltresz, piano teacher
Robertson, Australia

"As a frequent user of pianostreet.com I find it easy to navigate, great value for money and very professional. The pieces are all well-graded and the audio is really useful, especially for pieces not heard before. I have recommended the site to many of my friends who play the piano. Keep up the good work."

Paul, Llansannan, UK.

"Wonderful service! [...] I have no reservation in recommending it as a “must” to all pianists, both teachers and students, amateur and professional."

Dr. Robert J Keane, pianist
Australia

"I was in Poland the past summer to give 2 concerts. At the last minute they requested some Chopin, which I had not brought with me. So, I google-searched for classical downloads and found your site. I was able to print out excellent editions of the pieces I needed within minutes. To find the scores locally would have been inpossible as it was a smaller town, the nearest music store 45 minutes away."

Robert York, pianist
Long Beach, California

"Piano Street has been a wonderful tool to me as both a pianist and a piano teacher. I can browse the collection for pieces I want to play and/or have my students play. The difficulty rating system that Piano Street uses enables me to search by difficulty level for pieces at my students' various playing levels. It is helpful that many of the scores include an audio clip of the piece being played. I have recommended to my advanced students that they also join Piano Street since getting sheet music from there is a much less expensive alternative to ordering and paying for the music.
