I love playing that piece - from the booming ffff crescendo to the feverish accelerando in the middle, it’s just a blast, and a great one to break the ice and warm up with. I remember learning this prelude, elegie, and liszt’s mephisto waltz, liebestraum and orage one summer when I was 16 or so. They were incredibly cathartic pieces for an angry young man, and played no small part in getting me through a difficult period.
