Hi everyone, thank you so much for your comments ! Wasn’t expecting all these reactions and demand for a sheet, I am currently working on it

[martinmar]

Rachmaninoff himself, a master arranger, would be completely satisfied and very proud of this. Congratulations.

[abbyz]

As a pianist, I didn't even know this was possible on the guitar. You are amazing

[denisgordiy]

It’s amazing. I’m a pianist and never thought that Rachmaninov harmony can be reproduced on guitar. Bravo!

[alextk]

Never in a million years did I expect to see someone play, let alone arrange this piece for classical guitar. Really well done. You have fantastic technique and dynamics!

[RyanHowe]

As a classical pianist, I enjoyed this performance. Keep it up! Your dynamics, resonance control and arrangement choices were very good, and it's cool you chose to use C#ADGBE!

[pmlegene]

One can hear Rachmaninov applauding from above. And Edith is playing the piece in the same pitch as the original (for piano), marvelous.

THIS IS THE ABSOLUTE BEST PERFOMANCE AND ARRANGEMENT OF THIS PIECE ON GUITAR! HUGE BRAVOOO👏❤️

[fwowncwown]

Amazing! This lady made it sound like a lost Villa-Lobos prelude! 🤯🥹💗🙌🏼

[robertfoose]

As both a pianist and a guitarist I am compelled to commend you on this most excellent arrangement and immaculate performance. Exceptional in every way. Please give us more!

[robnorthrup]

Wow. The tension is communicated so well. You really landed that.

[Chris-wqpe]

Edith, you made a complex piece, a piece of halted timing, that staggers and soars and falls and leaps, sound so simple. Thank you, your playing is impeccable.

[osaabd]

First time I hear/see Rachmaninoff played on a classical guitar! Love it

[brycewalburn]

You captured the drama of the original composition absolutely perfectly! Impeccable.

[Commenter]

I am near the roof. Just as you finished playing, it started raining outside and I can hear it on the shingles. How beautiful!

[henrysuryanaga]

Superb performance. As other comments said "very surprised to hear this Rachmaninoff piece played so perfectly on the guitar".
The molody in the bass was well executed and the resonance is sustained long. Superb control of Melody and accompaniment. Suoerb technique in the 2nd movement, flawless technique while maintaining the legato of the melody and changes in chord.
Some surprises in using semi rasquados in some chords, add different character to the performance.
Overall, just one word Bravo Superb.

If i was the guitar manufacturer i would be flattered that someone played such a beautiful arrangement so good on a guitar of mine.
Amazing performance, the guitar really managed to express the pain of this piece in a way a piano sometimes can't

[RelUnrelated]

One of my favorite pieces, and you have done a fantastic job of arranging it for guitar. Thanks you so much for sharing it with us!

[gwenthor]

That was amazing! Rachmaninoff's Prelude in C# minor is one of my favorite classical pieces every and you knocked it out of the park. I was quite literally brought to tears at the end. Amazing job!!
