Rachmaninoff - Prelude in C# Minor, Op. 3

As intimidating as it looks, I'm making my way through perfecting it... but I'm struggling in the last section in which each hand has its own grand staff. Any tips? Thanks!

Listening to music is sort of a theft you are allowed to do. CPE Bach.

I suggest you search rachmaninov prelude "op 3" with Google Videos and listen how other pianists do it.
e.g. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=tyGwCX4q-5k

In particular at 3:36 you must "cheat" and play the low C octaves before the chords (second system of last page).

Oh, I forgot: use the right pedal!
