Amongst the pieces in RachmaninoffŒÍs 24 Prí©ludes there are three that are particularly popular. These are now all available as single editions: Having already published two ŒñwarhorsesŒî, the Prí©ludes in c sharp minor (HN 1211) and g minor (HN 1212), the one we are now issuing, the Prí©ludein g sharp minor, strikes a quieter and more melancholy note. For our n ew editions of the Prí©ludes we were able to consult the autograph sources in the Glinka Archive in Moscow, enabling us to present these single editions in superb quality. The fingerings are by Marc-Andrí© Hamelin, oneof the most outstanding pianists of our time and also an expert on late romantic Russian piano music.
