I don’t know if …
I don’t know if it’s the audio quality, but by FAR this is the best rendition of the prelude compared to other versions here in youtube. This is the way Rachmaninoff should be played; without knowing this piece you automatically know its Rach’s.

the pedaling is great.
rach is a complicated composer – his music really makes you reflect on yourself.
True. He can do the …
True. He can do the same with d minor. Take for example his Etude-tableaux Op.39 No.8, or his first sonata.

the best musicain beside mozart, beethoven, bach, brahms and tchaikovsky
this guy rocks!!! ( i said ‘guy’ cause i dont know how to spell his name
lol
Remarkable the …
Remarkable the varied emotions Rach can wring out of the key of D major.
Rachmaninoff also a …
Rachmaninoff also a different hand compared to “normal” people as well. Stretching an interval of a 11th was no problem to him.

to nudopiano…yes i agree with you…it is technically more difficult than opus 23 no 5 but it is at a much more practical level…AND NOW I WILL SHUT UP…lol

…if i may say…if u are attempting to play this piece…remember to keep it light but heavy at the same time!!! KEEP BALANCE!!! dont over do it just cause you can..and you dont have to play it too soft~

…in a sense…the notation is at a medium level…but the techniques are much more difficult…rachmaninoff had a way with giving a good challenge…if i may give you a pointer…make up your own fingerings!!!!!!! Rachmaninoff wouldnt have cared im sure…
Happy Playing!!!
Maxim Philippov …
Maxim Philippov does a spectacular job on this piece!! I AM THRILLED to see that the sixteenth notes at the beginning of this piece FULL LENGTH!!! I dont know how many times I have seen famous composers play them short!!!!!! GRRR!!! Although, in my own personal opinion, i think some of the chords are to ‘heavy’, shall we say?? Rachmaninoff did such a wonderful job, composing, because he knew how to mix saddness, with happiness, minor with major, and masculinity with romance…BRAVA!!!
yup, b flat major …
yup, b flat major is pretty tricky. i like this one though. i like all the rachy preludes

This is in D major, yet probably the most melancholy one among all in op.23.

Its not that …
Its not that difficult. I mean its not easy, but its not the hardest piano prelude from Rachmaninoff. Its Actually very easy compared to the second prelude from the same Op.
the hardest bit i …
the hardest bit i found is to bring out the lower voices
This looks …
This looks ridiculously difficult… I bet that 3 against 2 is hard to keep going as well.
Beautiful prelude …
Beautiful prelude of Rachmaninoff
And if you want an …
And if you want an idea of how it could be played “following” this edition, check out MM713′s version of this on Youtube. I don’t know who he is, and he’s got a crappy piano, but he’s got huge hands and very deft touch with the left hand.
I think it’s a …
I think it’s a Schirmer. I had my choice and took Schirmer. The Alfred doesn’t accurately depict the voice-leading, though it gives you some possibilities about fingering.

Bravo! Genauso spiele ich auch dieses Prelude!!!
Sehr lyrisch vorgetragen!

which edition is this? I use the Alfred Masterwork Collection, in which the triplets in the first 16 measures are well divided over both left and right hand
Excellent idea. …
Excellent idea. Also good interpretation of the 4th prelude…one of my favorites.
