From Tempo Vero Editions Classical Repertoire: Late Romantic Masters

This performance edition of Rachmaninoff’s Prelude in C-sharp Minor, Op. 3, No. 2 has been carefully edited to improve readability and playability while preserving the integrity of the original score.

Key editorial refinements include adjustments to staff assignment and formatting for improved readability, clarification of articulations, selective use of sostenuto pedal to support voicing and resonance, correction of a pitch error based on the autograph manuscript, and tempo indications that reflect common interpretive practice.

Composed by Sergei Rachmaninoff in 1892, the Prelude in C-sharp Minor was originally part of his collection Morceaux de fantaisie.

Editorial Note
The autograph manuscript indicates D-sharp via the key signature, but the first Gutheil edition mistakenly printed D-natural--likely an engraving error. Although Gutheil corrected this in later printings with a cautionary accidental, the original misprint propagated widely and appears in many later editions. As a result, numerous performances still reflect this incorrect reading. This edition uses the original D-sharp.
