This is a fascinating example of how Rachmaninoff uses a short motif as a foundation for a composition, and spins an endless amount of colorful variations on it. With pianist Henrik Kilhamn.

Thank you for this! Rachmaninov looks so scary in sheet music. It sounds so beautiful though.

I really feel like this channel has helped to improve my own playing. Especially since for some time I haven’t been able to afford lessons.

Thank you for the demonstration, I am learning this prelude, and a couple of others. I like to play the last page with the scrumptious chords slightly slower, it's very nostalgic, of days that are no more. I look forward to more of your broadcasts.

As an amature pianist, I look to your videos both when I want to find inspiration on what I want to learn next aswell as tips musically and technically to make it sound better. I greatly appriciate what you do as it have helped me learn pieces that I previously felt beyond me. A pair Rachmaninov preludes included. This one feels like it is still out of reach, but its always great fun watching your analysis anyway. Greetings from Gävle!

Great to hear from you Gävle! :) This one is quite hard, and in a way that it maybe doesnt seem that way until you look closer, scattered chords and multiple voices in each hand etc...

This prelude reminds me of the Bach prelude in the same key from Book 1 of the Well-Tempered Clavier. Both pieces develop a short motif almost obsessively, then build to a climax and recede into a calm ending. Both pieces also create dissonant harmonies through the use of suspensions.

Thanks for the great explanation and analysation, this is probably my favourite prelude at the moment :) Would love to see f sharp minor or d minor prelude on this chanel

My favourite prelude from Rachmaninoff. Very bleak, and melancholic, "vemod" would be the best term in swedish for it. Beautiful, and seemingly simple, yet much more technically challenging to play than one would think. Great analysis! Hälsningar från Piteå!

Lovely to know all this theory .I just try to play from the notes and even guess the rhythm sometimes just by listening to the music Abit slower . I know a long winded way to learn but I need a teacher which I can't afford
