Rachmaninov Prelude op3 no2
on: April 08, 2008, 04:39:10 PM
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?!

I believe the composer was rather 'slapstick'... minor idiosyncrasy...  Like what Jackson Pollock saw in his pictures... 'et el'?
