Amongst the pieces in Rachmaninoff��s 24 Pr��ludes there are three that are particularly popular. These are now all available as single editions: Having already published two ��warhorses��, the Pr��ludes in c sharp minor (HN 1211) and g minor (HN 1212), the one we are now issuing, the Pr��ludein g sharp minor, strikes a quieter and more melancholy note. For our n ew editions of the Pr��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-Andr�� Hamelin, oneof the most outstanding pianists of our time and also an expert on late romantic Russian piano music.
