Urtext Edition, paperbound
Level of difficulty (Piano): difficult (Level 6/7)
Amongst the pieces in Rachmaninoff’s 24 Préludes there are three that are particularly popular. These are now all available as single editions: Having already published two “warhorses”, the Préludes in c sharp minor (HN 1211) and g minor (HN 1212), this Prélude in g sharp minor strikes a quieter and more melancholy note. For these new editions of the Préludes, G. Henle Publishers were able to consult the autograph sources in the Glinka Archive in Moscow, enabling them to present these single editions in superb quality. The fingerings are by Marc-André Hamelin, one of the most outstanding pianists of our time and also an expert on late romantic Russian piano music.
