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.
就像拉赫曼尼諾夫那首經久不衰的《升c小調前奏曲》(編號 HN 1211)一樣,這首著名的《g小調前奏曲》也開啟了屬於自己的「獨奏生涯」:憑藉其振奮人心的節奏與狂想曲式的中段,它無疑在眾多作品中佔有一席之地。
對於尚未準備好挑戰 24 首前奏曲全集(編號 HN 1200)的鋼琴家來說,透過這部作品依然能領略拉赫曼尼諾夫最頂尖的創作風采。在與莫斯科格林卡檔案館(Glinka Archives)的合作下,我們在編製此原典版(Urtext)時得以參考原始手稿,這意味著這份單行本同樣受益於原典版卓越的編輯水平與高品質的樂譜印刷。與我們出版的所有拉赫曼尼諾夫作品相同,指法部分再次邀得鋼琴大師馬克-安德烈·哈默林(Marc-André Hamelin)親自編寫
