    Rachmaninoff Prelude in G Minor Tutorial

    This is pretty good for those who play piano and others who find this detail interesting.


    My friend who is a pianist and has two music degrees (also is a huge Rachmaninoff fan) watched it and said,
    Magnificently produced and demonstrated. He has nice large hands which will accommodate Rachmaninoff's compositions. Was really getting into the wrist control in the first (March) theme repeated after the legato middle section. I liked the way he was speaking about quietly descending like a ship way out at a calm sea.

    I am quite familiar with the piece as it was on my semester ... where students need to perform certain pieces which they have worked on all semester.

    The inner voices in the middle (legato) section is not easy as you need to think about several things at the same time, bringing out the melody, the bass then those inner voices which was a second theme played while performing the main theme.
