Rachmaninoff Prelude Op.23 No.3

on: June 11, 2005, 12:13:41 AM

I'm 17 years old. I've been playing piano for about 3 1/2 years, and I practically love everything that Rachmaninoff does. The first real piece I actually played was his C# minor prelude. Thats what got me started on piano. Took me almost 2 years to learn with a couple major technique problems that I plan on going back and fixing later. Starting almost completely at from scratch didn't help.
Anyway I am going to try to have Rach's op23 no2 ready for an audition sometime next year. If anyone has played this before or has any advice i would GREATLY appreciate it.

P.S. Also my sight reading is horrible. Any ideas? Thanks!

Your subject says op.23 no,3, but your message op.23 no.2. If you mean op.23 no.2 I would only advise, that "Maestoso," is not fast. His Majesty does not hurry.

Sorry I didn't notice that. Its Op23. No 2. Bflat Major. My bad. Thanks.
Yes, I know Maestoso isn't fast, but fitting six notes per beat doesn't make it simple.
