A BARCAROLLE? - Rachmaninoff Prelude in G major Op. 32 no. 5 - Analysis

Күн бұрын

The G major prelude from Op. 32 is one of few calm pieces in major among Rachmaninoff's 24 preludes. The left hand accompaniment conjurs Barcarolle vibes as if swaying back and forth on calm water, and the right hand melody enters as if sailing. There's an interlude in minor that shimmers even more poignantly for a brief moment, but the music soon returns home to the warm and safe major. With pianist Henrik Kilhamn.

Probably one of the most beautiful solo piano pieces I have heard

This is a perfect piece of music in my opinion, I mean it really is: a stunningly beautiful melody, no virtuosity for the sake of virtuosity and the evocation of an in-between state of delicate optimism and that aching but fascinating melancholia we feel the urge to return to over and over again even though it is painful. And all of this breezes by in just over three minutes - as if with each listen you’d always just get a short glimpse at an enchanting but blurry image. I do actually prefer the humble and concise shortness of préludes such as Chopin’s in G major, Scriabin’s in B major op. 11 or this gorgeous one by Rachmaninoff over the grand demeanor of a sonata. But that is just my taste :) Thank you so much for your analysis, Mr. Kilhamn! Your videos are a treasure!

Thank you, I'm glad you like them! That's so well put in writing about this music. I think the short and the long format both have important things to say in different ways, but the miniature genre can absolutely be underrated.

Actually this piece is quite harder than it sounds, it is complicated rhythmically with polyrhythm 3 against 5 and random ornaments here and there... You have to make the melody floating

I’ve always imagined doves when listening to this piece. rachmaninoff had always been my absolute favorite, so it’s always super awesome to see KZfaq content on his music

I found your channel the other day and just thought to check if you did this piece and you actually did! Awesome! I really like your analysises of the point. It is also nice to see your production value going up constantly! I don´t know if you would be interested in this but I would love to hear some technical advices on the harder parts of the pieces you present! But anyway great channel!

11:15 Op. 32 no. 11 is also very calm and soothing, and perphaps one of Rachmaninoff "easiest" pieces. Although it does not have long melodies: it is more like a chorale of sorts

I came on here to mention this. Yes, the B major prelude is a quiet masterpiece that is for me most satisfying.

Dear Henrik it is a joy to listen to your analyses. You explain things simply and clearly and your playing is excellent. Thank you for the insight on this piece that I have been playing for some years and suspected some of the things you said but never quite confirmed them with further research. Also in the soothing category of Rachmaninov preludes I would add op.23 no.6 in Eb Major. An analysis of that would be very interesting indeed. Congratulations and thank you for this fantastic content.

Hehe I'm only doing some favourite bits for now, but I might return to more in the future... There is a youtuber who has done the whole set, in a somewhat different style than mine, but might be worth checking out. kzfaq.info/get/bejne/nqiGnt2Era7Rmo0.html

I love these videos man, they're so insightful, you should do a lot more, I'd like it if you analyzed some Spanish music. I'm playing Triana by Albeniz, why don't you give that a listen

Thank you! I haven't played much spanish music, but I will check out Triana.
