This sonata, spectacular and deeply architectured, concentrates all that makes the composer's language unique: symphonic breadth at the keyboard, harmonic richness, inner lyricism, and virtuosity supported by sometimes extremely compact writing.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe heart of this publication lies in the coexistence of the \u003cstrong\u003etwo states of the work\u003c\/strong\u003e. The 1913 version, longer and denser, is often favored by pianists for its scope and development. The 1931 revision, stemming from the composer's desire to \"tighten\" the discourse, includes cuts and lightening that have fueled numerous interpretative debates. This edition thus allows an enlightened approach to the sonata: performing one of the versions, precisely understanding what changes (structure, transitions, textures), or even following the tradition of certain performers who have combined elements from both versions.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eEdited by \u003cstrong\u003eDominik Rahmer\u003c\/strong\u003e, the score also relies on the \u003cstrong\u003eautograph manuscript\u003c\/strong\u003e preserved in Moscow, enhancing the reliability of the musical text. As in other Henle volumes dedicated to Rachmaninoff, the \u003cstrong\u003efingerings by Marc-André Hamelin\u003c\/strong\u003e provide concrete added value for daily work: they guide hand placement, management of large chords and rapid shifts, while leaving the pianist free to develop their own solution. An ideal edition for the advanced pianist seeking a reference piano score, equally relevant for in-depth study and concert program preparation.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch2\u003eTechnical specifications\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cstyle\u003e@media(max-width:632px){table[data-wb-spec]{display:grid;grid-template-columns:minmax(0,1fr) minmax(0,1fr)}table[data-wb-spec] colgroup{display:none}table[data-wb-spec] tbody,table[data-wb-spec] tr{display:contents}table[data-wb-spec] td{display:block;overflow-wrap:anywhere;grid-row:var(--wb-l);background-color:var(--wb-lb)}table[data-wb-spec] td[data-r]{grid-row:var(--wb-r);background-color:var(--wb-rb)}table[data-wb-spec] td[colspan=\"2\"]{grid-column:1\/-1}table[data-wb-spec] td:empty{display:none}}\u003c\/style\u003e\n\u003ctable data-wb-spec style=\"width:100%;table-layout:fixed\"\u003e\n\u003ccolgroup\u003e\u003ccol style=\"width:25%\"\u003e\u003ccol style=\"width:25%\"\u003e\u003ccol style=\"width:25%\"\u003e\u003ccol style=\"width:25%\"\u003e\u003c\/colgroup\u003e\n  \u003ctr style=\"background-color:var(--wb-neutral-50);--wb-l:1;--wb-r:2;--wb-lb:var(--wb-neutral-50);--wb-rb:transparent\"\u003e\u003ctd style=\"text-align:left\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eMusical Genre\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/td\u003e\u003ctd style=\"text-align:left;font-weight:var(--font-body-weight-bolder)\"\u003eClassical\u003c\/td\u003e\u003ctd data-r style=\"text-align:left\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003ePublication\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/td\u003e\u003ctd data-r style=\"text-align:left;font-weight:var(--font-body-weight-bolder)\"\u003eSheet music\u003c\/td\u003e\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003c\/table\u003e\n\u003ctable data-wb-spec style=\"width:100%;table-layout:fixed\"\u003e\n\u003ccolgroup\u003e\u003ccol style=\"width:25%\"\u003e\u003ccol style=\"width:25%\"\u003e\u003ccol style=\"width:25%\"\u003e\u003ccol style=\"width:25%\"\u003e\u003c\/colgroup\u003e\n  \u003ctr style=\"background-color:transparent;--wb-l:1;--wb-r:3;--wb-lb:var(--wb-neutral-50);--wb-rb:var(--wb-neutral-50)\"\u003e\u003ctd style=\"text-align:left\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eComposer\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/td\u003e\u003ctd style=\"text-align:left;font-weight:var(--font-body-weight-bolder)\"\u003eSergei Rachmaninoff\u003c\/td\u003e\u003ctd data-r style=\"text-align:left\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eInstrumentation\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/td\u003e\u003ctd data-r style=\"text-align:left;font-weight:var(--font-body-weight-bolder)\"\u003ePiano\u003c\/td\u003e\u003c\/tr\u003e\n  \u003ctr style=\"background-color:var(--wb-neutral-50);--wb-l:2;--wb-r:4;--wb-lb:transparent;--wb-rb:transparent\"\u003e\u003ctd style=\"text-align:left\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eEdition\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/td\u003e\u003ctd style=\"text-align:left;font-weight:var(--font-body-weight-bolder)\"\u003eHenle Urtext\u003c\/td\u003e\u003ctd data-r style=\"text-align:left\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eGenre\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/td\u003e\u003ctd data-r style=\"text-align:left;font-weight:var(--font-body-weight-bolder)\"\u003eClassical score\u003c\/td\u003e\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003c\/table\u003e","brand":"Henle Verlag","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":54359971430675,"sku":"267688","price":22.7,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0984\/0872\/6803\/files\/2c2810c2a04e7869c28e90e22338da45916cb98e_HN1256.jpg?v=1789474458","url":"https:\/\/woodbrass.shop\/products\/henle-verlag-rachmaninov-s-piano-sonata-n-2-op-36-versions-1913-1931-piano-267688","provider":"Woodbrass.com","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
