Sergei Rachmaninov ： Prelude As-Dur Op.32-8

Brilliant figuration across a wide range gives this prelude an open and radiant character. The performer must maintain flowing motion while keeping track of the melodic and harmonic center. The main challenges are playing rapid passages evenly and preventing the sound from becoming scattered. Beyond agility, it requires a careful ear for resonance and a natural shaping of climaxes.
