Hey Bernhard (and/or anyone else who may be qualified), I know that in the past when someone has inquired about certain pieces you have given them a list of easier pieces that would progressively prepare them to play it in order of increasing difficulty.  Could you fashion me such a list for Rachmaninoff Op.23, No.5 Prelude in G Minor? 

And if you had time, Hungarian Rhapsody Number 2? (doesn't have to be now if you don't have time)

And if I asked if you could do this again once in a while would you mind?

Thank You.

Danny

It really depends
Because i am now trying to learn that prelude too. The piece leading to your piece that you want to learn really varies from person to person

C# Minor Prelude perhaps?
 ;D
Good luck... I can play the G Minor badly without middle section... but it I like it...
Working on: Schubert - Piano Sonata D.664, Ravel - Sonatine, Ginastera - Danzas Argentinas

I am pretty sure 5 and 10 are the easier ones, number 1 is quite some range from 5 i guess, i just started it 3 hours ago

Take Your Seat! Trifonov Plays Brahms in Berlin

“He has everything and more – tenderness and also the demonic element. I never heard anything like that,” as Martha Argerich once said of Daniil Trifonov. To celebrate the end of the year, the star pianist performs Johannes Brahms’s monumental Piano Concerto No. 2 with the Philharmoniker and Kirill Petrenko on December 31.
