An aswer to the pianist: how do you play the large chords for the left hand in the second prelude? I'm a piano student and I play this music, but I encountered some difficulty in playing these chords. Thank you and congratulations.
I "rewrite" or "redistribute" the notes between the hands. When the melody appears the 2nd time in octaves I break (roll) the LH chords, but the trick is to roll them so fast that they sound practically together. I'll be happy to teach you that and other things at my Piano Camp in Utica NY this coming June and August.
I wrote "an aswer", but I was trying to write "an answer". Anyway, the correct expression was "a question". This was a big confusion. Please, forgive me.
I don't generally swing the second movement, but it sound's nice. good job!

I'm playing the first one for recital this year. It's so much fun to play and listen to! I hope I can sound as good as this!

Bravo ! I only wish I could hear you in person because I suspect this vid doesn't truly do justice to your playing. Thanks for posting !

Really excellent tempo and interpretation - the 'laid back' rhythm is so relevant! Am enjoying your discussions on piano_chat also - many thanks!

I love it, it's perfect!
I'm practicing No.3 at the moment and I wish I could make it sound like this, because this man has the right feeling

Yeah this really is the most useful video to learn the preludes, but please attach more tags to it because it's very hard to find!
I recently found it by coincidence but couldn't find it afterwards, until now, because I was searching for "gershwin"...
