SONATA NO. 1 AND OTHER WORKS FOR SOLO PIANO
BY: SERGE RACHMANINOFF

DESCRIPTION:
-ONE OF THE GREATEST PIANO VIRTUOSOS OF MODERN TIMES, SERGE RACHMANINOFF HAS ALSO BEEN UNIVERSALLY KNOWN AND LOVED FOR HIS COMPOSITIONS. HIS MUSIC FOR PIANO IS A SPECIAL FAVORITE AMONG STUDENTS AND CONCERT ARTISTS — RICH IN SOARING MELODY, TECHNICAL BRILLIANCE, INVENTIVE KEYBOARD TEXTURES, AND A UNIQUE EXPLORATION OF THE PIANO`S SOUND AND CAPABILITIES.

-THIS COLLECTION CONTAINS A GROUP OF RACHMANINOFF`S FINEST MUSIC FOR SOLO PIANO. HIS SONATA NO. 1 IN D MINOR, OP. 28, IS JOINED HERE BY THE SPLENDID VARIATIONS ON A THEME OF CHOPIN, OP. 22, BASED ON THAT COMPOSER`S C-MINOR PRELUDE. THE CHARMING PIECES OF SIX MOMENTS MUSICAUX, OP. 16 — MELODIOUS, DAZZLING IN THEIR INTRICATE PASSAGEWORK, AND WONDERFULLY REWARDING TO PIANISTS WHO MASTER THEM — ARE JOINED AS WELL BY FOUR CHARACTER PIECES: FROM OP. 3, THE ELÉGIE IN E-FLAT MINOR,MÉLODIE IN E MAJOR, AND THE DELIGHTFUL POLICHINELLE ('PUNCH'); IN ADDITION TO THE LOVELY NOCTURNE IN A MINOR FROM OP. 10.
