 Welcome to our tutorial on Sergei Rachmaninoff's Prelude Op. 3 No. 2. The beginning of this Prelude is for sure one of the most well-known in all piano music. I want this beginning to sound full warm, of course fortissimo, and quite the entire first part of this Prelude you find octaves. Octaves was filling. First of all I would train it without the filling, only the octaves. Now I play only the top part of the right and the left hand.
