In an age before recorded music, transcriptions enabled music lovers to more easily access orchestral and operatic repertoire and virtuosos to display their wit and ferocious keyboard talent. Bach metamorphosed simple hymn tunes into complex chorale preludes for organ; Liszt realised Schubert songs, among a multitude of other composers works, as florid fantasies.

    Sergei Rachmaninov
    Sergei Rachmaninov was not only one of the greatest pianists of the twentieth century, but also the last great representative of the Russian Romantic tradition, exemplified especially by Tchaikovsky and Rimsky-Korsakov.
    Originally wealthy, Rachmaninov's family was reduced to straitened circumstances by his father's extravagance, the resulting strain eventually leading to his parents' separation. In 1885, after an initial period of study at the St Petersburg Conservatoire, Rachmaninov was sent to study the piano with the strict teacher Nikolai Zverev, whose regimen required that the boy's piano practice begin every morning at six o'clock. Living at Zverev's also gave the young Rachmaninov the opportunity to meet such impressive musicians as Anton Rubinstein, Anton Arensky and, most crucially, Tchaikovsky, at Sunday afternoon gatherings.
    In 1888 Rachmaninov started taking composition lessons with Taneyev and Arensky, and the increasing importance to him of composing led to a breach with the piano-oriented Zverev. Before his graduation he wrote such successful works as the warmly emotional First Piano Concerto , the Trio elegiaque No. 1

    Sergei Rachmaninov
    Rachmaninov began to study piano with his mother at the age of four. He continued his studies at the St. Petersburg and Moscow conservatories under Zvereff and Arenski. He is considered to be one of the greatest pianists of all times, but is also remembered for his compositions and as a conductor. He fled from Russia, after the Communist Revolution in 1917, and he eventually based himself in the United States where he later became a citizen. His highly successful, but exhausting career as a concert pianist enabled him to support his family but left little time for composition. His music remains an indispensable part of Romantic repertory.
    The second of Rachmaninov's four piano concertos holds an unchallenged position among Romantic works in this form. Its popularity is closely rivalled by the "Rhapsody on a Theme of Paganini ", for piano and orchestra. While the Symphonic Dances of 1940 enjoy some popularity, as well as the symphonic poem "The Rock" and the dark-hued "Isle of the Dead", with its recurrent motif from the Latin Requiem Mass, the second of his three numbered symphonies is still more familiar. Rachmaninov's first real success came in 1892 with the Prelude in C sharp minor. Other piano works include the Etudes-tableaux of 1911 and 1916-17, two sonatas, sets of Preludes and Moments musicaux, transcriptions, including the two Kreisler pieces Liebesleid and Liebesfreud, and the impressive Variations on a Theme of

    SERGEI VASSILYEVITCH RACHMANINOV Sergei Rachmaninov was undoubtedly one of the greatest performers ever and nobody who heard him playing Beethoven'sAppassionata, Chopin's B flat minor sonata or the Liszt transcriptions of Bach readily forgot him. Rachmaninov's father was an aristrocatric landowner who resigned his commission in the Cavalry's Guards of the Imperial Russian Army and retired to his estate in the Novgord district where he became involved in various musical activities. Lyou Boutakovia, Rachmaninov's mother had been born into a wealthy family and was also very interested in music so that when the four year old Sergei decided he wished to play the piano it was his mother who gave him his first piano lessons. Inside two months, Rachmaninov had achieved what a normal child would take two years to accomplish on the piano and was playing quite difficult works to visitors. Soon his mother engaged Anna Ornazkaya, an ex student of the St. John Petersburg Conservatoire as his teacher. Despite his interest in music Rachmaninov's father wanted him to enter the military academy at St Petersburg but his mother was equally insistent that he should go to the Anton Rubinstein Conservatoire in the same city. The matter was resplved when Rachmaninov obtained a scholarship to the conservatoire and as his father had squandered all his money he ws allowed to take it up.

        Is he ripe? Spring of 1888 was full of changes. Rachmaninov and his friends changed from primary to secondary level of the conservatoire. He started to attend the class of Siloti. It was the time of exams. Tchaikovsky took part at the exam of Rachmaninov. He performed his new
        17.March 1892 was the day of the first performance of the first movement of the first concerto. 19.March 1892 was the day of school leaving exam from the class of composing. Rachmaninov received an envelope in which there was a script of opera that he had to compose. He impatiently opened the envelope. Aleko, libretto by Vl. Iv. Nemirovic-Dancenko on the theme of Pushkin's poem The Gypsies. He had one month to finish this work. On 6. April he brought his work to Arensky who couldn't believe his eyes. 7. May was the day of public performance of studets. Rachmaninov got the Big Gold medal and gold watches from Zverev who almost cryed. Aleko was printed by Gutcheil who paid for it and was first seriously performed on 27.April1893. In autumn at electric exhibition in Moscow Prelude C sharp minor was first played on public.......

    Records: Sergei Rachmaninov's Songs
    By Andrew Guenzer Check out Songs sound clips at
    The Planet of Sound.
    Sergei Rachmani-nov is best known for a few over-recorded war-horses, such as his Piano Concertos 2 and 3 (the latter was featured in the movie Shine ), and his Second Symphony. Yet the Russian master was a prolific composer, writing in nearly every genre. Beyond his best-known works, much of his catalog is forgotten today. This is our great loss, as there are some truly sublime gems in that unknown canon. This disc gives credence to that claim with its selection of 24 short songs which hold up to the most delicate and tender lieder of Mahler, Wolf, and Brahms. The redeeming feature of the disc is the performance of pianist Semion Skigin, who plays with tender understanding throughout. The true worth and promise of this music shows in his playing, and my only hope is that these songs will be recorded by a singer with a more suitable voice and greater artistry.

It was first played by him in New York 1932. The theme is not actually by Corelli. It is an ancient dance melody called La Folia which has been quoted or varied by various composers down the ages, including Bach, Cherubini and Liszt.
