Rachmaninoff’s Prelude No. 10 in G flat is a lesser known prelude from Op. 23. The piece is a tearful one built on a sigh motif that often erases the bar lines for the listener. For me this piece is a sorrowful, parting farewell. For me, this is a piece to be played from the inside out, not from the outside in.

I hope you’ll enjoy hearing this piece. LINK:
