Please don’t be angry if someone coughs. My name is Matt Davidson and I have been a professional cough artist for 50 years. I am employed by artist or their managers to cough during live performance so people like you do not get a perfect copy for free. If you want a perfect recording then you have to pay for it. I make an incredible living doing this round the world and I always comes in disguise. Disable, old , frail, male / female attire. You will have difficult spotting me. Enjoy this video and I made sure nobody get a cough free performance.

[@SE4GY7]

Cough artists are an underrated and underappreciated element of any claque worth it's salt. A thankless job, they dutifully provide a reminder that the music is in fact being performed live. Coughers, or Toussers as they were known in the old country, prompt the audience to remember they too are a part of a live musical performance, for indeed, what is a performance without an audience? If a tree falls... Without Les Toussers the audience might be liable to forget they are witnessing a one of a kind performance of which they play an important role as spectator.

[@SE4GY7]

kzbin.info/www/bejne/pWmao3dobtefY5Y I wanted to thank you for your prodigious performance toward the end of this piece. It just isn't the same without your talents. I have a version without coughs on cd recorded in a studio, but I never listen to it. I find myself returning again and again to this definitive live performance. It's somehow impossibly more magical despite the ostensible "interruptions." I claim it's better because of the very fact that an "imperfection" intrudes on the music. It serves as a reminder of the perfection of the music. Without the coughs, there is no reference. We don't know light without dark, happiness without sadness, nor live musical perfection without a few coughs.

I've heard many versions but when he struck the note when rachmaninoff realizes it is his funeral I got chills. Amazing work

[@m.h.4083]

what?

[@ei1882]

Malte Hornstein There is a story (see at en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Talk:Prelude_in_C-sharp_minor_(Rachmaninoff)) that this piece is about someone who has been buried alive: « It starts (opening chords = church bells) with the slow (largo?) procession of a funeral march to the cemetery. The casket is interred. The fast (presto?) movement is then the desperate scratching of the person in the casket trying to get out! The next movement (moderato?) is the recession of the mourners heading back to town or going their separate ways. The final chords are the church bells again. Has anyone else read that or a more reliable version anyplace? I don't think that Rachmaninoff endorsed that interpretation but he didn't deny it, either. I think he said to people who asked about the meaning of his music that, "It can mean whatever you want it to mean." » It certainly gives you chills when you listen to it with that story in mind!

[@obeyjuancannoli7120]

Viejotrueno There is a common (likely false, but still interesting) story behind the piece. It’s said that it depicts a dream Rachmaninoff had, where he was at a funeral. However, he sees the coffin and approaches it nervously, which corresponds to the agitato section of the piece, where it moves faster and builds tension. Then, he sees himself inside the coffin, which is the third section of the piece. In the end, he accepts his fate with the last lines of the piece being soft and concluding. Again, it’s more likely that Rachmaninoff wanted to make a quick buck off a piece, but it’s a fun story.
