Posted August 9, Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options Matusleo Posted August 11, Posted August 11, Nightscape Posted August 11, Are you aware that, when one includes the Prelude in C-sharp minor from Op 3, Rachmaninoff wrote, as did Chopin and others, one Prelude in each of the twelve major and each of the twelve minor keys?

There are 10 in the Opus 23, 13 in the Opus 32 and the one from the Opus 3, making 24 in all. I know only a few from op 32, and thats 1 in C, 5 in G, and 10 in Bm. I think 1 is the most difficult of the 3 that I know from op One interesting thing was that he didn't play them in opus number order. I'm not sure how he arranged them. It was either C major, c minor, C major, c minor Joined: Nov Iowa City, IA.

I wish I could keep all this music in muscle memory but it falls apart so soon. Going to the other end of the chart, I think that the B-flat major Op 23, No 2 is probably one of the more difficult of the Preludes. But - what gloriously sweeping, majestic music!

I've practiced and learned most of it but never performed it - the e minor is another favorite and I hope to finish it up some day. I agree with Laredo, though, it's tough as nails.

IMO, Ms. Laredo is not the greatest Rachmaninov interpreter, her recordings sound more competent than striking. The competition is really fierce. Has anyone here played the E minor? I've got Laredo's recordings too and enjoy them very much. I like to listen to her preludes, pick one I like and learn it.
