Rachmaninoff wrote 24 preludes in every key?  That's news to me...

Yes, though his Preludes don't fall in any conventional order.  I don't think there are two e minor preludes, but if there are, the second one doesnt come in op.23 or in op.32.  There are 10 preludes in op,23 and 13 in op.32, in every key except c# minor; that prelude is of course op.3 no.2.

He wrote two d minor preludes, the one from Op.23 and an isolated one from 1917, it's been recorded by Dmitri Alexeev, on his Virgin Classics Rachmaninov 2 CD set.

gilbert biberian wrote 24 preludes for guitar but they are not in all the major/minor keys and some though in a key do not have a tonal center that is expected.
