Possibly the greatest recomposition of any piano miniature in history.

I wonder what if Rachmaninoff had transcribed all Tchaikovsky's symphonies to piano solo, like Liszt's transcription of Beethoven's symphonies.

I wonder what Tchaikovsky was smoking when he decided to write this in A-flat minor instead of G-sharp minor, especially considering he modulates to B major for all of four bars 🤣

It’s a flex bro. See also in the Well Tempered Clav book 1, Bach writes the Prelude in E flat minor but the fugue in D sharp minor

@@JakeMDavey E-flat minor and D-sharp minor have the same number of accidentals. A-flat minor has 7 flats whereas G-sharp minor only has 5 sharps, and is also the same key signature as the B major section I mentioned. It’s not really the same situation. Less of a “flex” and more of a troll.

It's hard to explain but when you are extremely familiar with keys, as especially pianists are because of how much of our repertoire is written in keys with lots of accidentals, it doesn't really matter what keys you use. I've analysed the third P&F from the WTCI to better know it by heart, and there is literally a passage written in E-sharp minor. I haven't analysed this score, but if he knows he's going to modulate more down the fifths than up, it might be worth it, or maybe his conception of the piece was that it was a piece with flats and not sharps for the mood, who knows. Maybe you're right and it's just a flex. I know that Schubert scared the editors with his impromptu in GFlat major and was asked to write it in G major. 😅

@@z.a.4801 I understand all of that because I am a pianist. None of that would explain why he changes the key signature to B major for only 4 bars when he could have just written it in C-flat major like Schubert might have done. Those 4 bars are completely diatonic as well.

@@debrucey My whole comment was about the whole piece being in a flat minor instead of g Sharp, not about the four bars. You expressed surprise regarding that. I have and have not made any argument about why 4 bars would be key changed. Either Urtext is different or Tchaikovsky just drank a bit too much that night, who knows 😅

Thank you for uploading this. The only other one that includes the sheets has crappy audio that I just can't get used to, even if it's Rachmaninoff himself playing.
