Rach's favourite?

on: February 26, 2004, 02:19:24 PM

I'm currently learning/playing Rach's Prelude Op32.10 in h-minor. I think it's the greatest of the preludes and a absolutely brilliant piece and i dont wanted to play a really well-known prelude. Now i've heard somewhere that it was also rachs own favourite. Is this true?

Yea, Rach was a big fan of the h-minor scale.

I think that was probably a typo for g-minor

In Switzerland (also Germany) we say "H Minor" = "B Moll".

This Prelude was Rachmaninoff's personal favorite, and he once likened it to "a return from exile." ...Perhaps that will help you to interpret it
