Possibly the most famous late Romantic piano work and now finally also available in Henle Urtext! First published in 1892 as part of the piano cycle “Morceaux de Fantaisie” op. 3, the work also soon became well known abroad, in particular due to the concert tours given by the pianist Alexander Siloti, Rachmaninoff’s cousin.
And even Rachmaninoff himself was soon no longer able to perform any concerts in America, without someone in the audience crying out “C sharp minor!” at the end … The thundering chords of the final part are legendary and at the same time not as unplayable as one might have been led to believe.
這首作品可能是晚期浪漫主義時期最著名的鋼琴曲,如今終於以亨勒原版樂譜的形式面世!它最初於1892年出版,是鋼琴組曲《幻想小品集》(作品3號)的一部分,很快便在海外聲名鵲起,這主要歸功於拉赫曼尼諾夫的表弟、鋼琴家亞歷山大·西洛蒂的巡迴演出。
甚至拉赫曼尼諾夫本人也很快發現,每次在美國演出,總會有觀眾在結尾高喊「升C小調!」…結尾部分雷鳴般的和弦堪稱傳奇,但同時,它並非像人們想像的那樣難以演奏。
