Rach Prelude Op32 No2...
on: May 18, 2005, 05:38:30 PM
Hmm okay.Im in a bit of a pickle.
Im learning this prelude and i love it. I have the beginning and im working on the agitato. Thing is, i was under the impression that after the agitato there was a big dramatic reappearence of the main melody. Which there is in all recordings.

So i go along to my teacher, and she's like "no you only pick one of the lines and play that". Now in doing this, the end sound boring and empty. Do i really need two piano's to manage the end? I know that in one line, it would be physically impossible to play what is written but in the rest you can manage so is there no comprimise.(leaving out the odd chord) Whats even more is,as there are four staves, two are marked "lh-left hand" and the other two marked "rh-righthand" further backing up my approach.

Here is a copy of the part in question. Hopefully im not breaking any copyright putting it up!ill take it down if thats the case.

Get a new teacher. I am serious. No, really. I am SERIOUS!!!!!

This score is Rachmaninov 101. You play all four lines at once; bottom two with the L.H. and top two with the R.H.

It is Op. 3, No. 2, by the way. :)

Does your teacher have a degree in PIANO education?
