Rachmaninoff - Prelude in E flat Major, Op. 23 No. 6

preview_player
Показать описание
A short and lyrical prelude from Rachmaninoff with none of his usual broodiness. Written right after the birth of his first child, Irina. From his set of 10 preludes, Op. 23.

For me, the hardest part of this piece was to naturally incorporate rubato without disrupting the overall flow of the rippling 16th notes and turning it into a mushy mess (although admittedly I do like it with a little mush).

Piano: Kawai Novus NV-10
Piano VST: Garritan CFX Full

I've listened to probably a doze world-class pianists play this, and I think yours is be far the best. it's natural and unforced, and I feel like all the others are overwrought and full of struggle. Well done.
I also like that, like me, you hang on to the B-Flat with your pinky well into the next measure. I discovered that and even tho' I'd not written that way, I think it's better to hold it and let it ring into the next measure.
Bravo.

I have played this off and on since 1978 and am FINALLY getting it presentable to play as a "gift" to my 91-yr-old piano teacher.
Today I did something odd, on the theory that ANYTHING you can do when practicing to come at it from a different angle: first, I practiced the left hand an octave up from where it's written, then the same with the right hand.
Then I played with both hands an octave below where it's written, which sounds incredibly odd.
I think this helped me. Try it out!

Well, I like the timing of your releases. Your performances are such exquisite experiences that like a fattening bonbon, savor what you have received to enjoy this time and when the opportunity presents itself savor again. Your technique is absolutely marvelous and the artistic expression always satisfying. The Rachmaninov Preludes as well as other compositions of his suit your musical personality well. Any composition you desire to perform gets such a superb reading that the listener can savor the experience because it lingers in the mind for a long time. Your care in your abilities to make music is a gift the you well protect. Here, here, you appreciate the gift you give so on we ALL love your musical gift!

Niceee, this is one of my favourite Rach preludes! Such a nice singing quality in this one. I really need to practise getting those notes in between the right hand octaves quieter.

Your playing is amazing. You play like someone who is from Eastern Europe or east of Eastern Europe if you catch my drift, meaning the best there is out there. Me, I am struggling along with this piece.
