Which Rach concerto should I start with first?
on: January 05, 2016, 05:52:15 PM
This is my first post here, it's great to have a community of fellow piano players to talk to. I've been playing since I was 6 and I'm 28 now, so I've been on the bench for about 22 years. My favorite composers to play are Bach, Rachmaninov, Scriabin, and Schubert, but especially Rachmaninov--when I play his pieces I really get into it, I almost feel like I'm channeling the composer himself...

I haven't attempted any of Rachmaninov's concertos, so I'm wondering which is the best place to start. I've played and/or performed almost all of his preludes and etudes and I've also briefly studied the composer's personal and political background, so I think I have a good understanding of his musicality.

Any suggestions would be appreciated.
