The difference between the original version of Sonata no.1 and the second version, shorter by more than 100 bars, is not just a question of length, according to Lukas Geniusas: 'There is a lot lost between the first and second editions. I know it goes against the grain, but I would name this sonata to be one of, if not the best Rachmaninoff's solo piano work. It's shattering might, it's splendor and scale can only be likened to the Third piano concerto, which was written soon after.' The programme is completed by four preludes from the Op. 32 set.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cdiv data-bt-autogen\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eUPC:\u003c\/strong\u003e 3760014199974\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eLabel:\u003c\/strong\u003e Alpha\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eRelease Date:\u003c\/strong\u003e 10.20.23\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eFormat:\u003c\/strong\u003e CD\u003c\/p\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e","brand":"Rock Band Merch","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":52221909336295,"sku":"591164","price":29.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"url":"https:\/\/www.triathletestore.com\/products\/rachmaninoff-geniusas-piano-sonata-no-1-original-version-preludes-cd","provider":"Triathlete Store","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
