Amongst the pieces in Rachmaninoff's 24 Preludes there are three that are particularly popular. These are now all available as single editions: Having already published two "warhorses", the Preludes in C# minor and G minor, Henle now publishes the Prelude in G# minor, striking a quieter and more melancholy note. For their new editions of the Preludes, Henle was able to consult the autograph sources in the Glinka Archive in Moscow, enabling them to present these single editions in superb quality. The fingerings are by Marc-Andr‚ Hamelin, one of the most outstanding pianists of our time and also an expert on late romantic Russian piano music. -the publisher
