Sergei Rachamaninov's prelude C minor No.2.....It's not easy music...even good pianist also, really hard to perform this music. ..Yes right ..specially small hands, It's funny idea comedy action. But, I surprising and feels amaging for his wonderful piano skill. he is great pianist even without funny action.

No, it's from Rach's Prelude in C# Minor

Somebody posted another video of Rainer hersch doing this. You can't even post comments on it.

I like to remember Harpo Marx's very effective way of getting rid of Rachmaninov (read his autobiography, HARPO SPEAKS). Rachmaninov had made a nuisance of himself in an artists retreat, and Harpo stuck in the next cabin, began playing this fortissimo on his harp.

Rachmaninov demanded to be moved as far as possible from "that dreadful harpist".

Rachmaninov never liked this piece, and his antipathy oward it grew as the years passed.

@geuros To jump a technical hurdle is just a question of talent in fine motor skills + a lot of ambitious exercises. Many have both of it. But only few master timing, volume and intensity of slow, emotional pieces. There are thousands of brilliant musicians in the world with outstanding technical skills. But only very very few who make their listeners cry. Keep that in mind when you play Rach's C# minor prelude in future. One of the hardest to pull off in terms of dynamics and intensity... ;)

@somdphd this prelude? This is simple :))) Etude-Tableaux are hard, but that Prelude not... maybe Prelude g minor... In difficulty, this is nothing in compare with Chopin Preludes ;))

I just love these two, it sort of balances out a lot of the crap that envelops "classical music". It's music and Rach, nuff respect.
