This cycle of six piano pieces was composed in 1896, just four years after Rachmaninov had completed his studies at the Moscow Conservatory, and it already shows signs of the mature master he would become. Deeply expressive and complex in texture, the six pieces clearly point towards Rachmaninov’s later large cycles such as the Préludes and the Études-Tableaux.
For this edition Henle has been able to consult the autographs held by the Glinka Museum in Moscow, which have enabled them to correct numerous mistakes and inaccuracies that had found their way into the first edition. As a bonus, it offers an appendix with the late version of the second “Moment musical” in e-flat minor that Rachmaninov published in the USA in 1940. Henle has been able to recruit no less a figure than Marc-André Hamelin to undertake the fingerings here.
這套六首鋼琴曲創作於1896年,即拉赫曼尼諾夫從莫斯科音樂學院畢業僅四年之後,已初露其日後成為成熟大師的端倪。這六首作品情感豐富,織體複雜,清晰地預示著拉赫曼尼諾夫後來的大型鋼琴組曲,例如《前奏曲》和《音畫練習曲》。
為了出版此版本,亨勒出版社得以查閱莫斯科格林卡博物館收藏的拉赫曼尼諾夫親筆手稿,從而修正了初版中存在的許多錯誤和不準確之處。此外,本書還附有附錄,收錄了拉赫曼尼諾夫於1940年在美國出版的第二首降E小調「音樂瞬間」的晚期版本。亨勒出版社也特邀馬克-安德烈·哈默林為本書標註指法。
