Since last 2 weeks I've been learning Rachmaninov's Prelude Op.3 No.2. It's explosive, it's hard, and it's great.
The whole piece is composed almost entirely on chords, which gives out the astonishing effect. A 'trademark' of Rachmaninov's works, the chords are large and consist of many notes. This piece can really sweep my senses all over. A stupendous work indeed.
I'm currently working on the Triplets' part, where in the middle section I can't really bring out the melody in ease. And then the descending part- I feel that my beat is not precise enough, sometimes I play both hands together while I should not. The climax there I still need some time to play the chords faster and smoother.
Still way lot to go and polish.
Anyway, here's the video of Ruslan Sviridov playing this Rachmaninov Prelude.
