Rachmaninoff second sonata (yes I'm crazy)

on: January 01, 2007, 02:27:58 AM

I heard a really impressive recording of this piece by horowitz and I couldn't resist but to try learning it. It sounds impossible difficult but I'm willing to try.

Thanks

gah!. *bows*

are you goind to do the 1913 version or the reworked one ?
I fingered the whole 1913 one, memorized the first two movements a few years ago, got half the 3rd one in and then stopped because of other engagements.
I promised myself i'd play this one day.
haha. here we are, still haven't done it.

too many notes ( victor borge ) .
