The Complete Piano Player: Rachmaninoff contains 17 pieces by the renowned composer, newly arranged for easy Piano.Many of Sergei Rachmaninoff's compositions prominently featured the Piano, the instrument upon which he excelled as a performer both in his native Russia and later as an émigré in Europe and the US. The seventeen pieces collected here reflect his fondness for song-like melodies and sumptuous harmonic colouration as well as evoking an exile's memories of Russian church bells and Orthodox chants.This collection uses fingering and chords familiar from the renowned The Complete Piano Player teaching books. In doing so it puts the music of one of Russia's finest composers and pianists at your fingertips. / Piano

Dans les années 1914-1917, le compositeur russe, Sergueï Rachmaninoff (1873-1943), publia deux cahiers d'Etudes-Tableaux : un mot qu'il inventa et qui désigne à merveille la fusion d'une étude technique et d'un morceau de caractère imagé. Tout comme les études de concert de Chopin ou de Liszt, elles constituent, tant sur le plan technique que celui de l'interprétation, une pierre de touche pour chaque pianiste. L'Etude-Tableau en mi bémol mineur compte parmi les pièces les plus célèbres de ce recueil avec ses accords sombres et, à l'intérieur, une mélodie élégiaque que seul Rachmaninoff était capable d'écrire - pas surprenant dès lors que Vladimir Horowitz joua ce morceau régulièrement durant ses concerts et l'enregistra à plusieurs reprises. / Piano

As indestructible as Rachmaninoff's c-sharp-minor Prélude (HN 1211) may be, it is not his only Prélude to have begun a 'solo career? of its own: with its rousing rhythms and rhapsodic middle section, the famous piece in g minor certainly takes its place among them. Pianists who aren't yet ready to tackle the complete cycle of 24 Préludes (available as HN 1200) can still enjoy Rachmaninoff 'at his best? with this work. In conjunction with Moscow's Glinka Archives, we were able to consult the autograph sources for our Urtext edition of the Préludes, which means that this single edition thus also benefits from the Urtext's excellent editorial and graphic quality. As with all of our Rachmaninoff editions, the fingerings were once again provided by Marc-André Hamelin. / Piano

This fifth volume in the Classical Piano Solos series features 19 original pieces from the masters, suitable for pianists at a Grade 5 standard.This series was compiled to correlate loosely with the Modern Course method and can be used to supplement any teaching method or situation. This volume features a mix of well-known pieces such as Beethoven's 'Moonlight? sonata (1st mvmt) and Rachmaninoff's famous C-sharp prelude, as well as lesser-known gems from Samuel Coleridge-Taylor ('They Will Not Lend Me a Child?), Anatoly Lyadov ('Prelude in B Minor?), and Rameau ('Les niais de Sologne?). All four main periods are represented.Editor's note: The final section of the Rachmaninoff prelude is presented on one visually-accessible page - the Chopin waltz (Op. 69/1) is based on original autographs rather than the oft-performed Fontana edition. / Piano
