2432

This long-awaited score for piano enthusiasts has been revised based on Rachmaninoff’s direct performance technique.

Many of these 24 preludes are relatively easy to perform, making them Rachmaninoff’s most popular works. Op. 3-2 in particular exudes a mystical and majestic atmosphere, and is said to have always been played as an encore at the composer’s own concerts.

This edition has been revised based on the first edition, proofread by the composer himself, and the fingering and pedaling instructions clearly distinguish between the composer’s instructions and the editor’s additions. The revisions and commentary by Rachmaninoff’s direct disciples have resulted in a meticulous, authentic score that more accurately conveys the composer’s intent.

Recommended for intermediate to advanced enthusiasts, music college students, and professional pianists alike.
