ties in Rach. #2
on: November 08, 2008, 02:03:39 AM
In the Rachmaninov #2 piano concerto mov. 1 are the notes in measure #287 true ties?  Rubinstein plays them as ties.  But some other pianists don't.  Is there a definitive answer?  I have a student performing this piece with a local symphony and we want to be sure to perform it correctly.  Thanks in advance for the help.

An attachment of the score for this particular measure would be greatly helpful.  As you know, most published scores of this concerto do not include measure numbers and you want us to count 287 of them?!

Definitive answer: If it's written as a tie, then it should be performed as a tie.

To all of you

I am grateful  for the replies.  I'm also a little stupid with technology, so I don't know how to import this section of the score.I assure you that I will be learning.  It is m. 287.  It occurs after the Maestoso alla marcia, and then the meno mosso and then the pocoa poco calando then 8 measures more.  It involves an a flat tie.
