Very nice! Here's a tip that you can try - once the song rushes into the fast part at 1:40 try playing it soft, quite and slower and make it louder and faster as you reach 2:00. That's how I play it and it sounds super spooky and wonderful! :)
You play it very well and I know that's a really difficult score, something that the people who just listen to the music don't really appreciate; but I have to comment something: it's the way that has been recorded the video or you use too much pedal (just a little)?
@Akatsukikatsushumi , I think it's a little bit of both :) thanks for your comment, hope you can have the time to learn it too, it's really heartbreaking !
@Akatsukikatsushumi , I think it's a little bit of both :) thanks for your comment, hope you can have the time to learn it too, it's really heartbreaking !
Tha't a really good job! I've started to study it but I have to finish studying the Clair de lune of Debussy and my teacher just given me the ritual fire dance, so I don't have much time. I really hope to play it withoult "bracking the soul" of it... :S
Seriously man well done :O!!!!!! This is really really good :O I also heard matt do it during the orgins tour or before sceenager on hullaboo i searched for AGES to find the name :L U do it by ear? bravo again this is great :)
Maybe someone can help, I'm learning this piece and I am at the part where there are 4 stanza, 2 for the right hand and 2 for the left.......what to do here?
Do you choose or actually play it all? Your help is much appreciated!
it doesn't matter if you play it bad, the most important thing is if you love the music and if you enjoy playing it. interpretation comes first. I can see that you have emotion when you play it. rmember, it always comes first ;) nice job, though
quate well executed indeed, I only noticed a few inconsistencies (like a finger slipped on the edge of a note and hit two), otherwise very well played!
i liked it. i love this song in anyway. (: fantastic job. im trying to learn to play it now.... but its difficult. to me at least. but you did awesome :D two thumbs upp!
dont listen to people who are discouraging. they have their opinions and we have ours.
This sounds awesome. I have no idea what this is supposed to sound like, but it sounds wonderful to me. It is clear you feel this music very intensely. Keep it up.
more lightly on the pedals, remember, this song is a solemn moment in rachmaninoff's music, so go gently and with caution, cause u never know what rules rach will play by, and just keep practicing, sounds good! keep it up.
I play guitar rather than piano but out of all the versions i've heard of this piece yours is my favourite, intense ending and serious emotional understanding- nice work!
For some time i watching films with this peace, because i have a plan to play this,too. Nobody- believe me- can't play it so wonderful as you. Great WOW!
great job mate! Really good, I've been playing piano now for about 8 years, and you're obviously not an amateur! Btw, where did you get the sheet? /Søren from Denmark
I like the way you did the middle section at a reasonable pace. alot of people are inclined to rush it and mess up but you did a fine job in my opinion mate.
Tito, this is fantastic, I have no idea what you mean by, "I know I play it pretty bad" ! Sounds amazing. All of Rachmaninoff's pieces are extremely challenging.
Beautiful. I'm not a pro, either, but I do play, and I think you did it well. I know this sounds corny, but you have to "feel" the song you're playing. The technical stuff is down, just throw yourself into the piece you're playing. Thanks for posting this! ^_^
chevere, tienes una version diferente, muy expresiva y me gusta como logras algunos matices. a mi me encanta Rachmaninoff, creo que es lo mejor que se ha escrito en la historia. yo tambien subi este preludio, me encantaria que me des tu opinión.
Nicely done. Rachmaninoff composed for himself and with his very large hands, is difficult to play. The finesse in playing comes with time and practice and guidance. Be patient and you will master it. To want is to be able. (Querer es poder)
Muse are amazing. i'd love to hear you play Butterflies and Hurricanes ans "Piano Thing". i'm not a pianist, but i can play space dementia, sunburn, new born and other easy stuff, i just can't hold myself from learning to play their songs.
hi, i really liked this recording! it's one of my favorite of this piece on youtube. you play this very good!! IF i could play this as well as you i would change the c# octave chords at 2:57 and 3:08. they should be played at the last beat of the previous measures, not on the first beat of the measures, and the higher chords after each should be the first beat of the measures. i'll watch again now, thanks so much for sharing!!
I`m playing this too at the minute! For a comp in 3 weeks! I like your version of it, but do you think the beggining is a little too fast?! Its cool though, like the way you stop going from agitato section back to the Tempo Primo! Well Done!
Simplemente la tocastes magistralmente, increíble. Yo soy fan de Rachmaninov también pero no tengo un piano como el tuyo el mio es la mitad y no puedo tocar los graves.
A good performance, I'm hesitant to call it an "interpretation", because I really don't get the sense of any personal interpretation of the piece. I don't hear emotion in the piece - even Rachmaninoff himself uses more rubato, temporally and dynamically, in the first movement. The agigato section was done well, but the interlocked chord cadenza was really uneven. The end set of chords in the final movement were kind of loud, too...
You've got a good handle on this piece - now put in some soul!
I was really happy for your praises, thank you very much :) my technique is not perfect and then I miss some notes, but I try to play with the heart though. thanks :)
I like your interpretation much more than those of kids who try to play it too fast for themselves and lose the melody completely (in the middle section).
thanks :) I also think this piece isn't to be played as fast as we can, like somebody told me here once. The melody itself is wasted in its meaning when we do so!
Wow! I think you're great! and I loved listening to you playing the hurricanes and butterflies piece too, Muse are fantastic I agree, so talented and intelligent, inspiration indeed! Your love of music and empathy for the emotion of a piece really comes across in your playing. Brilliant!
I prefer "C.Bechstein" pianos before "Steinway" anytime. I love the keys on the Bechstein, how the keys softly "bounces" back to your hand after you press it. :) Keep up the good work! Cheers!
actually and as I was a conservatory student, yamahas are my favorite pianos (talking about the keys only, because the sound of a steiway beats it all). witch one is your favorite then? oh and thanks for the praises :)
hey! that was AWESOME!!! I'm freaking out, my teacher wants me to learn that...i just finished rhapsody in blue (it took me half a year to learn 8 pages, but the song is so AMAZING it was worth it :P) and i know what you mean! my school has a steinway...it jus tfeels so powerful and the notes are so rich and...ergh...i can't think of the word. sorry. i'm rambling. anyway, great job!
Really good work man. I just started playing piano a few months back and this was one of the first songs I started working on. You can check out my version if you want (beware of old piano).
Thanks so much! Very kind words. My favorite composers are probably Rachmaninoff, Tchaikovsky, and Chopin to name a few. I tend to like the power songs but also the ballads. What is your favorite music style?
Thank you for posting this, very much enjoyed your performace. This song is so beautiful. I fell in love with it when I first began learning it as well. Your piano has a very clear and crisp sound. Who are your favorite composers? I just posted a video of the ending of this song, I'm new to posting videos of my piano playing, so it's the start of an interesting journey.
dude I just heard Matt Bellamy from Muse playing it during the Origin of Symmetry tour and I fall in love with it... I know I play it pretty bad, but I'm not a pro, and at least I try and I love what I do... Muse will always be my inspiration to be better...:)
were like the same my inspiration is muse :O
im not a pro but i almost know all their songs on piano buterflies and hurricanes solo :] and more songs and i want to playthis song too and i will:D
not bad considering rachy was 18 when he wrote this, this is incredible for two months practice and i disagree with amazingorange, rachmaninoffs recording was just as fast in the ending and the middle is a little slow but id give my left nut to play like that
In the interest of helping, should you think more about the shape of your phrases? Think more of the phrases in relation to each other and the dynamic movement within each phrase. Listen to Rachmaninoff's playing of this piece in terms of what he does with the phrasing. It is remarkable, not surprisingly.
Of course it doesn't offend me!! And I truly thank you for your sugestions, when I did this recording I was only practicing this for 2 months, now I'm quite better believe me, and I'll improve a little with the sugestions!=) I've watched your videos too... You're truly are an impressive pianist!
Needs work. Sounded stale. The middle was also too slow, and try to make the chords sound different, it just sounded like the same boring thing over and over again.
I disgree with the ending. It was marked Tempo I, but was also intended to be lenient. The tempo I agree however was to metronomic and lacked any true interpretation whatsoever. However, he loves what he is doing and that is the only thing that matters, not his interpretation because he is not a profressional, but the enjoyment he gets out of playing it.
Ahh oui , il a un piano à queue Yamaha, mais c'est juste pour faire joli dans son salon , il n'y touche jamais et il s'est dit , tient je vais essayer le Prelude , et hop mais c'est vite fait heinn , c'est la première fois qu'il tente. j'essaye juste mais je m'enregistre quand même !
Hey! Amazing skills you got there. How long have you been playing? I have been playing for 6 months. Im just learning the solo for Butterflies and hurricanes. I'm terrible, :D. Muse are also my inspiration.
when I watch videos like yours I feel depressed since I stopped practicing piano since I was too bored to study music and so I just started making my music and playing it. Easy stuff.
you are right..but now with my new band, and job in a magazine and stuff I feel like I have no time..and I loove my band.! did u check out the site I gave u at hi5?:) anyway! I am just 19 so I think there's always be some time for more effort.
you make it look so easy! amazing job! little slopp here and there but great...may i ask how old are you? im learning to play this for a recital so it's nice to see other people play it!
A few mistakes here and there, but this is one the better covers I have to say. Well done. I can see you are enjoying it! Thank you. Very nice.

No slow down, it´s okay. Just listen to Hofmann, he was a famous piano player of the 20th century.
You had some mistakes, but nobody is perfect! Just hold on working.

Really good work man. I just started playing piano a few months back and this was one of the first songs I started working on. You can check out my version if you want (beware of old piano).

Thanks so much! Very kind words. My favorite composers are probably Rachmaninoff, Tchaikovsky, and Chopin to name a few. I tend to like the power songs but also the ballads. What is your favorite music style?

Actually, you play this pretty well.

Thank you for posting this, very much enjoyed your performace. This song is so beautiful. I fell in love with it when I first began learning it as well. Your piano has a very clear and crisp sound. Who are your favorite composers? I just posted a video of the ending of this song, I'm new to posting videos of my piano playing, so it's the start of an interesting journey.
Feelingthevibegrls 3 years ago
dude I just heard Matt Bellamy from Muse playing it during the Origin of Symmetry tour and I fall in love with it... I know I play it pretty bad, but I'm not a pro, and at least I try and I love what I do... Muse will always be my inspiration to be better...:)
were like the same my inspiration is muse :O
im not a pro but i almost know all their songs on piano buterflies and hurricanes solo :] and more songs and i want to playthis song too and i will:D

not bad considering rachy was 18 when he wrote this, this is incredible for two months practice and i disagree with amazingorange, rachmaninoffs recording was just as fast in the ending and the middle is a little slow but id give my left nut to play like that
good job dude

You put a lot into that. Very sensitive.
In the interest of helping, should you think more about the shape of your phrases? Think more of the phrases in relation to each other and the dynamic movement within each phrase. Listen to Rachmaninoff's playing of this piece in terms of what he does with the phrasing. It is remarkable, not surprisingly.
I hope the comment doesn't offend you.
You are a very impressive pianist!!!
rsteinberg100 3 years ago 2
Of course it doesn't offend me!! And I truly thank you for your sugestions, when I did this recording I was only practicing this for 2 months, now I'm quite better believe me, and I'll improve a little with the sugestions!=) I've watched your videos too... You're truly are an impressive pianist!

That was good advice. It would be cool if you post another video to show your progress with this. If you want.

Needs work. Sounded stale. The middle was also too slow, and try to make the chords sound different, it just sounded like the same boring thing over and over again.
And the ending was too fast, whats the rush?
amazingorange 3 years ago
I disgree with the ending. It was marked Tempo I, but was also intended to be lenient. The tempo I agree however was to metronomic and lacked any true interpretation whatsoever. However, he loves what he is doing and that is the only thing that matters, not his interpretation because he is not a profressional, but the enjoyment he gets out of playing it.
TheCrazyHairPianist 3 years ago
He is not playing the cords at the same time, but one at a time. He does not play fast enough in the middle and the end is played too fast.
