24 Préludes-Based on the Prélude in C sharp minor Op. 3 No. 2 written in 1892 that quickly became world-famous Rachmaninoff composed a further two collections of Préludes in the years up to 1910. These were also published as acomplete volume in 1911.Based on the corresponding models by Chopin Scriabin and their great forerunner J.S. Bach they comprise a cycle of 24 Préludes in all major and minor keys but unlike the other onesare not organised systematically according to keys. A final highlight of late Romantic Piano music which no pianist can ignore.

2nd Movement-Transcription of the slow movement of Rachmaninov's First Piano Concerto op 1. Programme note by Murray McLachlan: Rachmaninov's first concerto in F sharp minor op 1 was composed in 1891 and dedicated to Alexander Siloti. The work was substantially revised in 1917 with textures made much lighter. The revised version is also more concentrated and disciplined with the material eliminating some of the earlier episodic sections entirely from the score. The second movement is an exquisite 74 bar miniature a nostalgic nocturne that is contrapuntally rich. In this soloversion the use of all three pedals and the middle pedal in particular make it possible to project the multifaceted textures the 'colour counter-point' that along with Rachmaninov's chromaticism enhances his considerable melodic gifts. Was Rachmaninov the 'Russian Bach?' Certainly his genius for 'inner voices' 'inner melodies' and counter-melodies make his music an inexhaustible treasure house of possibility for the creatively charged solo pianist. In Rachmaninov's piano writing there is simply no such thing as 'padding' or anonymous accompaniments- every line can be vocally or orchestrally charged making the music glow with richness and inspiration. This transcription was given its world premiere on April 1- Rachmaninov's birthday- in 2017 in New York as part of a recital for the Lezetizky society. Further performances were given on what was an intense US Easter tour in Washington Texas Boston and Vermont. I've also performed the transcription in Canada and the UK.

Variations Corelli op. 42 Editeur: Norbert Gertsch Doigtés: Marc-André Hamelin Edition Urtext, reliure paperback Pages: 39 (VII, 32), Dimension 23,5 x 31,0 cm N° d'article HN 1206 · ISMN M-2018-1206-9 Degré de difficulté (Piano): difficile (Degré 8) Ce célèbre cycle pour piano de Rachmaninov parut en 1931, à une époque où ce dernier s?était déjà assuré une grande popularité avec ses grandes ?uvres pour piano solo et ses concertos pour piano. Il ne s?agit cependant nullement d?une ?uvre de «vieillesse». Avec ses variations sur le thème «La folia» (repris d?une sonate de Corelli), Rachmaninov déclenche un véritable feu d?artifice pianistique. Voici ce qu?il dit laconiquement à un de ses amis à ce propos: «Cette course folle dans tous les sens est nécessaire pour effacer le thème.» Est-ce que Rachmaninov est parvenu à faire taire «La folia»? Essayez-vous même!

Rachmaninov wrote Vocalise for Voice and Piano not setting a text to it unlike the other songs in the Op. 34 set. It immediately became popular and the composer fashioned several transcriptions of the work including one for Piano and another for Orchestra. This edition is transcribed for Piano Solo.

This volume contains all of Rachmaninov's works for Piano solo published after his departure from Russia in 1917.

Versions 1913 and 1931-L?une des plus importantes et significatives pages pour piano de Rachmaninov la Sonate en si bémol mineur est enfin disponible dans une édition Urtext digne de la partition et des problèmes éditoriaux qu?elle pose. Presque vingt ans après l?avoir écrite et publiée le compositeur la trouvait trop longue et trop dense d?écriture et il fit de nombreuses coupures et «allégements» qui continuent aujourd?hui d?être l?objet de critiques de la part des pianistes. Si bien que c?est la plupart du temps la première version qui est jouée ou un mélange des deux versions comme se le permettait par exemple Vladimir Horowitz avec l?autorisation de Rachmaninov. L?édition Henleexploite aussi le manuscrit autographe conservé aux Archives Glinka à Moscou. Comme pour toutes les ?uvres pour piano de Rachmaninov publiées chez Henle les doigtés sont de Marc-André Hamelin l?un des pianistes les plus remarquables de notre époque.
