im a terrible sight reader, and i need to learn the prelude in c# minor (rachmaninoff) for someones wedding ( i know odd choice but its her fave) i was wondering if anyone has the sheet music with notes written on, or could help me with the first few bars or so. I would REALLY REALLY appreciate this.
thanks

Yup i play this by memory now, well i will give you some tips, once the three opening octaves have been played make sure that the rest of the octaves are'nt as loud as the chords, it's often played the other way round , loud octaves soft chords arggg. Secondly i personally dont like the first section played too slowly, it's nice when it flows.
Know the second section is t`he difficult bit, it shoud be fast with a clear melody and not soft, the third and final section has to be very loud and slightly faster than what is normally heard, well thats how i like it, it sort of takes flight. Good luck but for a wedding

All sheet music have notes on them, do they not?

For sheetmusic from the net, you can go to
www.sheetmusicarchive.net
. Not great quality though, but you have your notes
For better music, you should go to a decent library and start copying stuff there.
Good luck with the wedding, gyzzzmo
