Extractions: From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia Jump to: navigation search Rachmaninoff, in his later years, toured the United States extensively, and remained there from 1918 until his death. Sergei Vasilievich Rachmaninoff , also commonly spelled in English as Rachmaninov (1873–1943) was a Russian composer, pianist, and conductor. He was one of the finest pianists of his day and, as a composer, perhaps the last great representative of Romanticism in classical music. Early influences of Tchaikovsky Rimsky-Korsakov , and other Russian composers gave way to a thoroughly personal idiom that included a pronounced lyricism, expressive breadth, structural ingenuity, and a tonal palette of rich, distinctive orchestral colors. The piano features prominently in Rachmaninoff's compositional output. He made it a point to use his own skills as a performer to explore fully the expressive possibilities of the instrument. Even in his earliest works, he revealed a sure grasp of idiomatic piano writing and a striking gift for melody.

As a pianist with a powerful, aristocratic presence, he is remembered for creating some of the world's most extraordinary piano works. He was also an accomplished conductor and performer. While his reputation as a composer only came later in life, Rachmaninoff's skill as pianist was well-known and highly respected throughout his life; he often performed his own works as soloist. He was one of the greatest pianists of his generation, having legendary technical facilities and rhythmic drive, and his large hands were able to easily cover an interval of twelfth on the piano. His piano concertos are among the most demanding ever composed, as he sought to challenge both himself and other pianists to greater heights. Many recordings were made by the Victor Talking Machine Company recording label of him performing his own music as well as works from the standard repertoire. His compositions include, among others, four piano concerti, three
