Opus 3: Morceaux de Fantaisie (1892)

A series of five preludes.

One of the most well known of Rachmaninov's works. The first piece is the signature one, the second more mellow and the third has a faster tempo and a more fantasy-esque theme.

Part 2: Adagio sostenuto

This piece has been played as an interlude before Sunburn, on at least the 2003 tour.

Explorers' intro bears a strong-resemblance to this piece. It seems as if this piece was just transposed from C minor to its parallel key, C major.

A series of ten miscellanious preludes.

Part 2: Prelude in B flat (Maestoso)

This was played as an instrumental outro to Screenager on the 2002 tour. Unlike the rest of the preludes in this set, it was written two years earlier, in 1901.

Performed by Matthew Bellamy as part of a two part introduction to Screenager on the 2002 tour. The second part of the introduction was what later became the piano mid-section of Butterflies & Hurricanes.
