dannylux - Cui Prelude in F Sharp Major 64/13: Message Board

dannylux's Comments

César Cui's music has been all but ignored for a long time. His 25 Preludes In All The Keys is a really enjoyable set. The No.2 Prelude in e minor approaches Chopin's e minor Prelude in loveliness and is no more difficult to play. Here I play my favorite of the set, the No.13 in F# Major.

I recorded it at a fairly low level because it starts out quietly, but gets very, very loud.

Mel	2011-08-21 16:24:43	Thanks for your kind words, Julian. Yes, the set starts in C and ends in C, so 25 rather than the usual 24.
Julian (SlatterFan)	2011-08-20 20:02:44	What a big piece (in all ways) to be called "prelude"! I love the way the intensity naturally builds from the tender beginning. Lovely playing. Okay, Cui Op.64, noted. (By the way, I have to ask -- *25* preludes in all the keys? Does Cui finish the set in the same key he started, to complete the cycle/circle?)
