  • An excellent performance! Every once and a while is sit in front of the piano and battle with this prelude for some time. In a way it's very difficult, yet in a way it's not - but definitely a magnificent piece! Keep up the good work. :-)

  • @belegSJ Thank you! I agree with you 100% on the split-personality of the piece. For me it's physically demanding, but not tricky. It was easy to learn, but it's hard to play. Kind of frustrating in that way. Cheers!

  • I'm quite impressed. I've picked up the piano again after going to guitar and I'll be sure to watch this again as I work my way up to Rachmaninoff. Any tips on how to do this piece successfully?

  • @ArsenalGooner5 Hmmm... let's see... try to keep your shoulders and wrists relaxed. Make sure you hold the down beat long enough. Practice playing *solid* four-note chords, accenting a different note within the chord each time you play it. And get some big hands.

  • Mate, you're lacking about 2 million views. Great sound, video and playing. Loved it!

  • @cutthroooat Glad you enjoyed it. I don't even want to guess how many thumbs down I'd have if this video got 2M views. (1,909). :-)

  • @Simangel1307 You can't believe how many takes it took to get that. The fly kept coming in ahead of the beat.

  • Excellent! Just depends what a guy is after. Gould would be ecstatic, as I am! Horowitz and Rachmaninoff would be pissed off... but you can't please everyone. If you played it exactly like this, in a hall with a bit more reverb, just about everyone'd be happy :)

    Masterfully done boss. Wish I could buy a ticket or something to help you out :)

  • it's excellent!!!

  • Good job!

  • Excelente!

  • Awesome!!!

    

  • A wonderfully crisp staccato! And all round excellent performance

  • I like your sparse use of pedal.
