WIP - Prelude in C Sharp Minor - Rachmaninoff - Raw Practice Recording

Not even close.. but I'm happy enough with the progress I'm making. This is probably the most difficult piece I've attempted. It just goes to show the importance of phrasing and dynamics.. my playing sounds plodding, and hammer-fisted, so I'll need to pay attention to the shape of the music that Rachmaninoff has detailed in the sheet music in order to get it to sound like real music. I love the big, fat chords. My hands are above average sized, but they feel tiny at times when playing this piece. Lots of stretching.
