Extractions: Sergei Vasilievich Rachmaninoff , also Sergey Rachmaninov or Serge Rakhmaninov April 1 March 28 ) was a Russian composer pianist and conductor Born in Semyonovo , near Novgorod into a wealthy family with a strong military background, Rachmaninov had his first piano lessons with his mother at the family estate at Oneg . After a decline in their fortunes, the family moved to Saint Petersburg where Rachmaninov studied at the conservatory , before going on to Moscow , where he studied piano with Nikolay Zverev and Alexander Siloti . He also studied harmony with Anton Arensky and counterpoint with Sergei Taneyev . While still a student he wrote this one act opera Aleko , and the set of piano pieces, Op. 3, which contains the Prelude in C sharp minor, probably Rachmaninov's most popular piece for solo piano. Rachmaninov's first symphony was premiered in 1897, but was a complete flop with the critics. Some have suggested that this was as much due to the conducting of Alexander Glazunov , who may have been drunk, as it was to Rachmaninov. The bad reception led to a nervous breakdown and complete loss of self-confidence for Rachmaninov. He wrote very little music until he began a course of therapy with Nikolai Dahl . The result of these sessions was the Piano Concerto No. 2, which Rachmaninov dedicated to Dahl. The piece was very well received at its premiere, for which Rachmaninov played the solo part himself, and remains one of his most popular compositions, gaining some fame from its use in the

Extractions: Many people are familiar with the 18th variation of "Rhapsody on a Theme by Paganini" from the movie "Somewhere in Time." It's a very romantic piece. If you familiar with the 18th variation only, you should treat yourself to listening to all the variations played back to back in the "Rhapsody."This book has those variations which have been reduced by Rachmaninoff for two pianos/four hands. I wish, of course, it had been a piano solo, because I would probably get a lot more use out of it."Rhap... I found this book extremely helpful and a joy to read.

A professional pianist can perform solo pieces, play with an orchestra or smaller ensemble, or accompany one or more singers or solo instrumentalists. A performing classical pianist usually starts playing piano at a very young age, some as early as three years old. Many well-known classical composers were able pianists themselves; for example, Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart, Ludwig van Beethoven, Franz Liszt, Frederic Chopin, Robert Schumann, and Sergei Rachmaninov were all virtuoso pianists. Some pianists have special preferences as to which composer's music they play.

Rachmaninoff was born on April 1, 1873, near Novgorod. In Moscow his piano teachers included the stringent disciplinarian Nikolay Zverov and Rachmaninoff's cousin Aleksandr Siloti, who gave him the heritage of his own teacher, the Hungarian pianist-composer Franz Liszt. There also, Rachmaninoff studied with three eminent Russian composers Anton Arensky, Sergey Taneyev, and his most important musical mentor, Peter Ilich Tchaikovsky. Rachmaninoff's Prelude in C-sharp Minor (1892), for piano and orchestra, and his opera Aleko (1893) established his reputation as a composer. Also written in 1893 was his Trio élégiaque, in memory of Tchaikovsky. In 1897 his Symphony No. 1 in D Minor was performed. Its disastrous reception caused him to stop composing, and for three years he worked solely as a pianist and conductor. His Piano Concerto No. 2 in C Minor (1900)

Extractions: SERGEI VASILYEVITCH RACHMANINOFF No passado dia 12 de Outubro, no Grande Auditório da Fundação Calouste Gulbenkian, teve lugar um memorável concerto pela Orquestra Sinfónica de Milão Giuseppe Verdi , dirigida pelo Maestro Riccardo Chailly. É uma orquestra poderosa, de gente muito jovem, de muitos méritos, tal como a sua inserção no ciclo das Grandes Orquestras Mundiais fazia esperar. No programa o Concerto para Piano n.º 2, de Rachmaninoff, tocado pelo pianista Nelson Freire, que tocou muito bem. Não conhecia Alexander Mossolov (1900 1973), de quem foi tocada A Fundição do Aço, o impressionante retrato sonoro de uma fábrica. Depois Ottorino Respighi (1879 1936), o grande compositor italiano do início do século XX. Só tinha ouvido I pini di Roma em disco, mas a interpretação da orquestra milanesa foi bem outra coisa. Quanto a La Boutique Fantasque , a sua música foi já muito utilizada no cinema. Aqui fica também a entusiasta crítica do Público.

Extractions: In 1897 his Symphony No. 1 in D Minor was performed. Its disastrous reception caused him to stop composing, and for three years he worked solely as a pianist and conductor. His Piano Concerto No. 2 in C Minor (1900) marked his return to composition. From the next 17 years come his Symphony No. 2 in E Minor (1906); the symphonic poem The Isle of the Dead (1909); the Liturgy of St. John Chrysostom (1910), for choir; the choral symphony The Bells (1913), based on a poem by the American writer Edgar Allan Poe; and many highly admired songs. Except for a period in Dresden, Germany (1906-8), he worked mainly in Moscow; in 1904-6 he conducted at the Bolshoi Theatre. After leaving Russia in 1917, Rachmaninoff settled in the United States the following year. In exile he concentrated on his piano and conducting careers, making recordings in both fields. His few compositions after 1917 include the Variations on a Theme of Corelli (1934), for piano; Rhapsody on a Theme of Paganini (1936), for piano and orchestra; the Symphony No. 3 in A Minor (1936); and the Piano Concerto No. 4 in G Minor (1937). He died in Beverly Hills, California, on March 28, 1943.
