i looked up poulenc, but found adrian self instead.  also, slonimsky. 

ahh.  i see bernhard has included kabalevsky and probably some others i didn't scan as fast.

[nanabush]

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

Isn't there 2 E minor ones?

[pianistimo]

richard cumming (written for john browning who requested they be 'hard as possible').

No, but I am glad my post led to its revival.

Isn't there 2 E minor ones?

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.

Isn't there 2 E minor ones?

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.

[pianistimo]

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.
