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 8)

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 ) .  ;D
