Rachmaninoff Prelude op.23 no.4

on: November 04, 2011, 02:09:56 AM

This might be in my top 3 most beautiful piano pieces I've ever heard. I finally decided to play it and was dismayed that it is actually way trickier and more awkward to play than it sounds. I will get it eventually if I work hard, but I thought it would be much easier than this. Just an observation. Oh well.

Agreed it's very beautiful and I would've guessed it's not easy at all.

My favorite recording is from Richter... (basicly he is my no. 1 in any Rach prelude he played).
