Summary of This Score
Sergei Rachmaninoff
Piano Concerto No. 3 in D minor, Op. 30
Dominik Rahmer (Editor)
Johannes Umbreit (Piano Reduction)
Marc-André Hamelin (Fingerings)
Often nicknamed "Rach 3," this concerto holds a special place in the concerto repertoire: melodic richness, harmonic density, symphonic breadth, and above all, one of the highest technical challenges for the pianist. Composed in 1909 and dedicated to Josef Hofmann, it has established itself over time as an essential work, notably brought to the stage by Vladimir Horowitz, who helped reveal its full impact and virtuosity.
This Urtext piano reduction emphasizes textual reliability: the editor relies on the first edition, sound recordings, and the autograph score to offer a version that is both rigorous and practical. The reduction by Johannes Umbreit allows precise work on structure, thematic entries, balances, and musical discourse, while Marc-André Hamelin's fingerings provide real support in passages of runs, chords, jumps, and thick textures typical of Rachmaninoff's writing.
Bound in paperback, this score is aimed at advanced pianists, conservatory students, and professionals wishing to prepare an interpretation, a competition, or deepen the study of a great late Romantic concerto using reliable and carefully prepared material.
