Honens @ Home: Stefano Andreatta performs Rachmaninov

In this episode,  you'll hear a masterwork—Sergei
Rachmaninov's Piano Sonata No. 2 in B-flat minor Op. 36,
performed by 2018 Honens Semifinalist Stefano Andreatta. 


Rachmaninov composed his piano music for himself. He was an
amazing virtuoso with a secret weapon ... enormous hands! With
his fingers spread, his reach was 12 notes wide, or an octave and
a half. Those big intervals are an extra challenge for other
pianists learning his work.
