Is there a tradition that requires one to play the Rachmaninov Prelude op3 no2, c sharp minor, not as notated? In all the recordings I've heard the 2nd bar is not played as a semibreve in the time of the preceeding quarter notes and the following eighth notes are played as quarter notes?!

maybe that's because of the tempo. after all, it is written (Lento)

I believe the composer was rather 'slapstick'... minor idiosyncrasy... Like what Jackson Pollock saw in his pictures... 'et el'?
