Sergei Rachmaninoff Ordre des livres

Rachmaninoff wird als herausragender Pianist und Komponist beschrieben, dessen Werke zeitlos und fest im klassischen Repertoire verankert sind. Seine Musik zeichnet sich durch emotionale Tiefe und technische Brillanz aus, was ihn zu einer zentralen Figur der Musikgeschichte macht. Die Beschreibung hebt seine bedeutenden Beiträge zur Klavierliteratur und seine Fähigkeit hervor, sowohl als Interpret als auch als Komponist zu glänzen, und betont seinen Einfluss auf nachfolgende Generationen von Musikern.

Through a series of candid interviews, Sergei Rachmaninoff shares his thoughts on his compositions, the art of piano playing, and his reactions to contemporary music. He reflects on his experiences in Russia, the USA, and Switzerland, offering insights into his professional career and family life. These conversations provide a deeper understanding of the private man behind the reserved public persona, revealing unique perspectives on a celebrated composer and pianist.

Composed over a six month period (October 1906 to April 1907), Rachmaninoff's second excursion into symphonic form was written at a time when he was still not entirely confident in his abilities to handle the genre. Unhappy with the first draft, the work was subjected to much revision for several months after its completion. The premiere, given on January 26, 1908 in St. Petersburg's Mariinsky Theatre with the composer conducting, received tumultuous applause from the delighted audience. The work gained much popularity soon after and remains a staple of the orchestral repertoire to this day. Editors Clinton F. Nieweg and Christopher R. Morgan have consulted all available sources in course of preparing their edition of this cornerstone work. Originally issued in 2011 by the now-defunct publisher E. F. Kalmus, this superb edition is now available from Serenissima Music as a large conductor score and orchestral parts aling with the study score offered here.

Written between 1900 and 1901, Suite No. 2 was premiered in 1901 by Rachmaninoff and Alexander Siloti. This virtuosic suite is orchestral in nature and contains four movements. The first movement serves as a march-like introduction, and the second and fourth movements are dances---a waltz and tarantella. Between the two dances is a slow third movement. Two copies required for performance.
