Rachmaninoff Prelude in C# minor

I watched a recording of Rachmaninoff playing this song so I tried to play it In the way that he
did it

I know I made a lot of mistakes even at the beginning. I will keep working on it to get better.

[@FernandPors]

Music is much more than being able to play notes without making mistakes... For your age you play very well, I think the main improvement can be found in feeling the music better and expressing that (if you choose music that's easier for you to play then it's easier to focus on that).

That was brilliant! I'm a big fan of classical music, and a violinist myself, and the only thing I can say after hearing your performance is the fact, that it was amazing and truly charmful. Bravo!

[@Leander-piano]

Thank you for listening to me play and encouraging me

[@ludwiglanestudios]

As a fellow pianist- Great job! I can feel your passion from my screen! I was all about those big romantic pieces in my younger days. My professor saw my hands (i can reach an 11th) and he prescribed to me Bach, Bach, and more Bach. I absolutely hated it but it did WONDERS for my playing. Keep using that metronome!

[@Leander-piano]

Thank you I will keep trying to get better. I will practice with the metronome.

You're amazing

[@Leander-piano]

@@shermanlin5554 Thank you I am glad you liked this song

[@hakonlimseth8951]

Wow, Prelude in C# minor from Rachmaninoff already? You just performed Liebestraum No. 3 four days ago-I'm impressed!

[@Leander-piano]

@@hakonlimseth8951 Thank you that is because I like to play many different songs.

I’m utterly amazed by this. I can barley play the last section with a score at a consistent tempo. This piece is extremely difficult and you’ve done a great job of it. I would advise having a look at George Cobbs New Russian Rag, it’s a fun piece that takes parts of this one and his earlier Russian Rag (that was not as good of a composition at all) and makes a fine piece out of it. I got my score for it from imslp

[@Leander-piano]

@@dylan-kerry Thank you for telling me about the new Russian rag. I will look it up and learn it

[@dylan-kerry]

@@Leander-piano That’s all fine. I was rather pleased when I found that piece. The Russian Rag was fun but not a great piece, the New Russian Rag is an amazing composition and certainly worthy of the popularity of its predecessor

When bro didn't pursued chess, he learned piano.

You’re making me regret playing chess when I was this age
