Rachmaninoff 3rd concerto

on: December 29, 2008, 07:40:09 AM

I have a decent amount of experience under my belt playing piano, but Rach's 3rd concerto is a real demon. How do you think I should go about learning this piece?

Thanks for any advide

Listen to it day and night and practice slowly, by section, and it any manner you can think of really. After that, get a good teacher, or if you allready have one, play for other great teachers to get a more complete view of the work. If you don't have this opportunity, I highly recommend you watch the Bolet masterclass on the work that is on youtube!
