Anyone know where to find video of Rach....

his op. 3 no. 2 prelude in C#minor?

I would love to see someone's hands playing that onslaught intermezzo about 2:30 minutes into it.
It is probably the most impressive prelude I've heard.

Thanks.

In the video "Art of the Piano", there's a clip of Josef Hofmann playing that prelude.

^^^Thanks, I'll look for it.

So you don't need to be able to reach 1 & 1/2 octaves like Rach to play it?  

I can play some chords with a ninth, but it depends on the finger positioning.   I've also been stretching my fingers/thumb span, and have noticed a very small improvement over the last few months.  I want to be able to play a tenth comfortably.
