Description

Rachmaninoff composed two collections of Préludes between 1892 and 1910, inspired by the famous Prélude in C-sharp minor, Op. 3 No. 2 that he had written earlier. These new Préludes, modeled after the works of Chopin, Scriabin, and J.S. Bach, comprise a cycle of 24 pieces in all major and minor keys. Unlike other Prélude cycles, they are not systematically organized by key. This late Romantic piano music is a must-play for any pianist.
