Please Help Me with Rachmaninoff!

[lewisk1811]

Hey everyone!

I am 17, have just passed my grade 8 piano with distinction and want to play Rachmaninoff prelude in G minor opus 23 no.5. I know this piece is quite difficult but I really want to be able to master it and wondered if anyone can give me any advice please.

I have only been learning it for about two weeks, and it is coming on slowly, however the middle section is where I struggle, especially where the theme comes round for the second time if you get where I mean.

Thank you everyone!

Hi,

I came across these wonderful (and wonderfully entertaining) tutorials by Paul Barton

There is another covering fingering at the end of the prelude that you should be able to find.

Thank you so much for this, it is really excellent.
