Sergei Rachmaninov ： Prelude gis-moll Op.32-12

A beloved prelude in which a heartfelt melody emerges from figuration that suggests a cold, rushing wind. The pianist must keep the flowing right-hand patterns even while bringing out the song in the left hand and inner voices. The main challenges are maintaining lightness in the rapid accompaniment and preserving melodic direction and harmonic color. It demands a refined balance of transparency, tension, and lyricism.
