The process of this project was one of the most artistically educational experiences for me, as I couldn't just take the original score and copy and paste it onto the same instrument, which would've been meaningless and would simply sound like a mess. One has to really work as a sensitive composer to know the differences between the timbres and colors of the piano and that of the orchestra, which requires me to re-arrange registers, minor shifts of structural obstacles, avoidance of over-toned harmonies, and attempt to make it sound like as if it was conceived originally as a grand solo piano sonata instead of just some crazy transcription for showing off. I hope this new version of the Rach 3 can achieve a different kind of in-depth virtuosity and emotional scope and that it may attract interest from my contemporary and future pianists or musicians.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eInventory # :  00123381\u003cbr\u003e\nUPC:  884088957841\u003cbr\u003e\nISBN:  1581061242\u003cbr\u003e\nWidth:  9\"\u003cbr\u003e\nLength:  12\"\u003cbr\u003e\nHeight:  0.197\"\u003cbr\u003e\nProduct Weight:  0.5 lbs.\u003cbr\u003e\nNumber of Pages:  64\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Lauren Keiser Music Publishing","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":49337620922662,"sku":"00123381","price":32.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0128\/7762\/7456\/files\/6eb462a5-d794-5cab-9ee1-c11cef51ccdc.jpg?v=1722630864","url":"https:\/\/retrostar-gifts.myshopify.com\/products\/piano-concerto-no-3","provider":"Retrostar Music","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
