Binh Tat I don't think he was saying this isn't for single piano - just that he knows all Chopin's single piano pieces, so he also knew this wasn't one of them :)
Lugansky playing this at the highest immaginable level. No blurs, no spaces before big jumps and chords. As someone who played the piano for 9 years and played some rachmaninoff myself. its just brutal.
Matthew Adrien My apologies for commenting 2 years late, but Lugansky may have large enough hands to play legato in sections of the piece that are otherwise impossible to play legato with small hands and no pedal. I would recommend just using pedal, though. Without Rachmaninoff’s hand size or bigger, it’s very physically demanding to play without pedal.
That's my absolute favorite moment of the piece. I could see how someone could say that this piece is just to show off technical ability but moments like that prove that it's much more. It's so emotionally potent.
I'm learning this piece now. I've managed as far as 1:12 and it's quite a challenge to say the least. This outstanding performance is my only motivation to keep going to the end.
I love this huge chords and very high volumes in Rachmaninoff's pieces, like in for example this one or his first Piano Concerto, but also his slow pieces are pretty good because of their polyphony. Besides I really like his kind to spread out intonations, like in his Op. 39. No. 4. And Lugansky is a great performer of Rach's work.
Played this for my high school senior recital and a piano competition in Michigan more than 20 years ago. The experiences led me to pursue a career in conducting. Great piece!
Him and Richter (whom I am proud to share a last name with) are my two favorite Rach interpreters. Except on the prelude in g minor, I just can't leave out Berezovsky (I think that's who he is). Oh, and the best recording of 3/2 (C# minor) is Rach himself playing it on a bosendorfer reproducing piano. I also have yet to hear a Richter recording of Rach 2, so I have to stick with Rubinstein. Man, in the end it doesn't really sound like I'm a true Richter and Lugansky fan am I? XD
This is ridonculous. So good. About eight measures from the end there's a 32nd rest in both hands that is just genius. It's amazing how powerful that little pause is.
After playing this song I have to say it is very repetitive on the left hand, it is really not that bad, it takes practice like anything else. The only hard part honestly was not burning out before the end.
This is definitely my favourite rachmaninoff piece. One day I'll play all of it, and that day is not too far away :) Edit: I gave up haha. See my replies for an in depth explanation. Alternatively you can pretend I didn't and keep asking me if they day has finally been, that is a totally valid option as well 😂
Fantastic piece, my piano teacher recommend this to me today, and this is the first day I'm hearing it. Spent about a half hour learning the first page, I'm excited to play the rest of this piece. I've always been scared of Rachmaninoff having smaller hands, but this one seems possible not being able to play 10ths. I think this is one of those pieces that sounds very impressive and exciting, but despite being hard, is not as hard as it sounds. Not saying it isn't hard (it's hard), it's just designed to sound harder than it is. When passages are more chromatic like in this piece, fingers are more ready to access the notes. I actually think the quarter notes in Tchaikovsky's concerto No. 1 are harder than the 16ths in this piece. Leaps are harder than runs. Just my opinion.
This piece reminds me of a forest fire getting more and more out of control but, it is mesmerizingly beautiful to look at. You are put in a trance at how beautiful the sight is. You snap out of it and try to leave but the fire has already encircled you. You are doomed. The fire is beautiful. You stare into the inferno as it consumes you.
"It's not very hard". Give me a fucking break. Of course playing the notes in half the tempo with amateur-level control isn't hard, but playing pieces like this EXPRESSIVELY takes about 15 intense years of studying the instrument, usually even more. Trust me, this is my field of profession.
Speechless... First time hearing this music. This must be virtually impossible to play for even the most advanced pianist. What kind of genius writes something so amazing that even the greatest players struggle to perform. Mind blowing... Give me 100 years to practise and I might manage to play the first 12 bars!!!!
No, you can't. You have to train yourself. Technique is important, fingering, the ability to read sheets as fast as this, if you're not good enough it'll be a sloppy mess.
It was more of a philosophical, existential suggestion. Although, I stand by my statement. Perhaps a temp of 10 BPM. It would be slow but you could hit all the notes.
What if it took you ten years to learn it? What if it sounded awful then? Perhaps one's goal isn't to impress the world with their virtuosity. Perhaps someone just loves the piece and wants to play it at their own maximum level. Is that not satisfactory?
Steve Gardner No, that's like having a favorite song then every time you play it, it sounds garbage and nothing like the original. That's exactly what it is. That shouldn't be satisfactory for anyone. It'd also ruin any learning experience you wanted in piano.
In this edition, the last chord is written to be played as "sfff" but I'm pretty sure in his original edition, he actually wrote "sffff" which is possibly the only time I, in 12 years of playing piano, have ever come across that.
me: Hears the audio also me: This is easy- it repeats! All i have to do is learn the melody *sees* the sheet music* *crys* (edit) I liked my own comment ;-;
I always knew this was hard, but I never realized it was this hard, maybe because Lugansky is so fluid. LOOK at this score! This must be up amongst Rach's most difficult pieces. Harder than any prelude. I love the Chopin influence in this at 1:11. You can always hear Chopin in Rachmaninov.
This piece is actually on the easier side of Rachmaninoff's difficulty. Actually, it may even be one of his easiest serious works. The whole piece follows the same pattern; if you learn the first minute or so, you practically learned 75% of all the notes in the piece. Rachmaninoff's other preludes are much harder, for example the B-flat and E-flat minor. Rach's most difficult pieces are the chopin and corelli variations, piano concerto 3, and solo piano sonatas
The easier side? The "easier" side of Rach are the C# minor, D major, G major, and B minor Preludes. This is in a completely different technical category. Obviously not as hard as Concerto due in part to the scale. But this could be a cadenza from a Rach concerto.
@@LisztyLiszt By "other preludes," I was referring to a select few, not all. My apologies for any misunderstandings. However, this piece is still on the easier side of Rachmaninoff. Rach simply just wrote countless pieces that are miles more difficult. Moment Musicaux 4 is one of his most approachable and friendly to pianists that are starting to dive into his dense textures.
I have been playing this for 3 months now and even with large hands this piece really is a fight. Some part are ridiculously difficult even though there is a lot of "repetition" nothing is really easy in this piece. Stamina alone makes this hard
It is definitely difficult, but Rachmaninoff was an unbelievable pianist, and was well aware of the instrument's idiosyncrasies. That said, not being overly ambitious (you have had vast previous training, and your hands are able to hold the weight~otherwise you are facing the risk of injury), with slow and thorough practice (slowly and in different rhythms*), you'll see your hands flowing. That is what makes a pianistic genius worth studying.
It's simple: I clipped out parts of the sheet music, then aligned it with the audio in Windows Movie Maker. To be frank, it's time-consuming, but the ability to read sheet music is an advantage.
Complètement incroyable !! Comment se fait-il que cette pièce ne soit pas plus connue ? C'est à la fois épique et émouvant, délicat et extrêmement puissant. S'il y a des pianistes expérimentés qui traînent, est-ce que vous pensez que je pourrais jouer ça, sachant que mes morceaux les plus durs sont l'étude 1 op 2 de Prokofiev et la Sonate 1 de Brahms ? Il faut absolument que j'apprenne ça, mais ça a l'air tellement difficile !
Just saying,I,a 3.5yrs self-taught pianist,have just successfully finished learning this marvelous piece. It is definitely,and undeniably,a very difficult piece.It took me like 3 months to finish the piece and 2 months to master it. Keep it up, you can do it!
This is great, do not know this song, it's fabulous, thanks Sergei Rachmaninov You inspire many musicians to surpass themselves, you will always be a legend remembered
Я русская и живу в России. Мне нравится слушать музыку Рахманинова. Столько испытываешь эмоций. Здесь и тайфун и любовь, переживания и радость, и тоска по своей Родине. . И в то же время это тоска по своей Родине. Я с трепетом отношусь к его творчеству.
If you guys liked this, you should watch the video of Lugansky playing it live that the audio for this video was taken from. It is even more intense seeing him play it live, and you miss out on his big finish without being able to see him x)
this is actually one of the easier pieces of rachmaninoff. Thats why my professor told me this piece and “the cat and mouse”dominated teenager piano competitions
Absolutely insane work! Aside from the fact that it would take-literally-my lifetime to learn such a piece as this, I wonder how the composer could write such music. How did he notate it? How did he put on paper what he heard in his heart? Virtuoso pianists like Lugansky are simply different than the rest of humanity. They just live on some higher plane than (even serious but) ordinary players can only pretend to inhabit. Just amazing.
I spent 6 hours deciphering this piece today. Wondering all along why, ô why, since I'll probably never be able to play it correctly at the right tempo. But it's so hypnotic !
@@S0larus yup ! Took me about 3 weeks to get something presentable to my taste, and I hadn't practiced in months before that (...years?) so... it's doable! It's still perfectible of course. Tempo-wise, I recorded it and was about 1mn behind Lungansky. But I haven't worked proprely on the bridge passage yet and some displacements are not quick enough yet so... almost there ;)
After reading all the comments, i have to say everyone can learn this piece if you spend your time for practice even you don't have a big hand :") the difficulty not only the techniques but also how to play it right: the rhythm, the emotions, how you handling the piece :") a professional pianist could recognize who is better not just judging by his/her piano techniques but also the musicality of him/her while she/he is playing too :") just my personal thought :") (If i have any English grammar mistakes, im sorry :") )
You know that moment when you're just, chillin, doing hw, and BAM A REALLY INTENSE PIECE COMES ON and you get startled out of your chair, crying hysterically? That's me currently send help
update ? :) On my side I realized it was not so out of reach after all; I went for it, 20h in 4 days ! Was progressing fast but... I had to take a break because of what seems like a start of tendinitis ^^' (never happened before; wasn't feeling much and all of the sudden...)
@@lafemmesanspseudo7840 I underestimated it a bit, 3 pages are relatively playable but its very draining for the left hand. Feels like this piece develops tendinitis for you ;)

Tian Vlašić How the hell you're practicing it lol, i'm 13 and it's impossible for me.
How did Lugansky played this clearly without pedal blur is amazing, like what the heck.
He probably did 16th pedalling or something lmao.
Geezus mate
Hahaha
You can watch him do it live just as well as in this recording. It's insane.

That's the attitude that gets people places
Thanks for giving me the encouragement. Another one added to the Must-Learn list. *Grin*
Beautiful rendition, this piece gives chills. At 2:26 there is one of the most touching climax moments in Rachmaninoff music🎼
That's my absolute favorite moment of the piece. I could see how someone could say that this piece is just to show off technical ability but moments like that prove that it's much more. It's so emotionally potent.
Wow. I thought this was a studio recording! I was so surprised to hear the applause at the end. That blew my mind. Amazing performance.
I think rachmaninoff got robbed on a train or something like that and he had to make money real quick so he wrote this.
Ja Ka I thought it was a joke, until I looked it up on Wikipedia. Sorry... :|
"real quick"
Then you're basically saying Rachmaninov is a fucking genius.
comment répondre à une pareille ânerie!

Lugansky is one of if not the best Rach Player around today, sadly he's so much underrated
totally agreed.
hes boring

So glad you've included the sheets music so we can all play along
As long as you can read music and you have ten fingers you can play this. Start slow.

Well, I was so proud of myself playing this piece until I listen this...
Let me cry
What a show-stopping, knuckle-breaker this piece is. Instant amazement.
Фантастически виртуозное исполнение!
This the most beautiful interpretation of this piece. Love this.
Wow, I had no idea Satan wrote piano music!
Absolutely insane work! Aside from the fact that it would take-literally-my lifetime to learn such a piece as this, I wonder how the composer could write such music. How did he notate it? How did he put on paper what he heard in his heart?
Virtuoso pianists like Lugansky are simply different than the rest of humanity. They just live on some higher plane than (even serious but) ordinary players can only pretend to inhabit.
Just amazing.
who played that? that was amazin.
Nikolai Lugansky, it's in the end of the description.
Felix Mendelssohn thanks
Nikolai Lugansky, my favorite pianist
This song reminds me of a particularly stormy ocean & I love it
I am currently playing ABRSM grade 8 pieces.
My goal in life is to play this
I spent 6 hours deciphering this piece today. Wondering all along why, ô why, since I'll probably never be able to play it correctly at the right tempo. But it's so hypnotic !
4 days and 20 hours after : ... tendinitis ? -_-
@@lafemmesanspseudo7840 Can you play it now pal?
@@S0larus yup ! Took me about 3 weeks to get something presentable to my taste, and I hadn't practiced in months before that (...years?) so... it's doable! It's still perfectible of course. Tempo-wise, I recorded it and was about 1mn behind Lungansky. But I haven't worked proprely on the bridge passage yet and some displacements are not quick enough yet so... almost there ;)
I am playinh this and it's really hard...I wonder how this person played it so perfectly...
the answer to your question reside in practice and experience.
After reading all the comments, i have to say everyone can learn this piece if you spend your time for practice even you don't have a big hand :") the difficulty not only the techniques but also how to play it right: the rhythm, the emotions, how you handling the piece :") a professional pianist could recognize who is better not just judging by his/her piano techniques but also the musicality of him/her while she/he is playing too :") just my personal thought :")
(If i have any English grammar mistakes, im sorry :") )
it's back!
yay
Good God, the sheer power of the final chord is unbelievable!
speed of light: I am the fastest
speed of sound:
What Santa Claus plays in his workshop on Christmas Eve to motivate his elves to hurry and finish making the toys!
R.I.P left hand..
love the applause at the end haha, i cracked up so hard
Awesome! Very powerful.
I love the notes on the sheet music. "Furious", "prestissimo". I swear to God I was hoping to read "brutal" in a piece of classical music
Joke's on you, I can play Twinkle Twinkle Little Star.
You know that moment when you're just, chillin, doing hw, and BAM A REALLY INTENSE PIECE COMES ON and you get startled out of your chair, crying hysterically? That's me currently send help
Happy 1M views on this one! :)
Thanks. :D
half of them are probably from me
I VE BEEN SEARCHING THIS FOR MONTHS
Started this today! Wish me luck will update.
Started today, but honnestly it's way beyond my current rusty level :D so hypnotic though
Good luck!
update ? :) On my side I realized it was not so out of reach after all; I went for it, 20h in 4 days ! Was progressing fast but... I had to take a break because of what seems like a start of tendinitis ^^' (never happened before; wasn't feeling much and all of the sudden...)
@@lafemmesanspseudo7840 I underestimated it a bit, 3 pages are relatively playable but its very draining for the left hand.
Feels like this piece develops tendinitis for you ;)
@@pascalpascal2044 Got any news?
