2nd Movement-Transcription of the slow movement of Rachmaninov's First Piano Concerto op 1. Programme note by Murray McLachlan: Rachmaninov's first concerto in F sharp minor op 1 was composed in 1891 and dedicated to Alexander Siloti. The work was substantially revised in 1917 with textures made much lighter. The revised version is also more concentrated and disciplined with the material eliminating some of the earlier episodic sections entirely from the score. The second movement is an exquisite 74 bar miniature a nostalgic nocturne that is contrapuntally rich. In this soloversion the use of all three pedals and the middle pedal in particular make it possible to project the multifaceted textures the 'colour counter-point' that along with Rachmaninov's chromaticism enhances his considerable melodic gifts. Was Rachmaninov the 'Russian Bach?' Certainly his genius for 'inner voices' 'inner melodies' and counter-melodies make his music an inexhaustible treasure house of possibility for the creatively charged solo pianist. In Rachmaninov's piano writing there is simply no such thing as 'padding' or anonymous accompaniments- every line can be vocally or orchestrally charged making the music glow with richness and inspiration. This transcription was given its world premiere on April 1- Rachmaninov's birthday- in 2017 in New York as part of a recital for the Lezetizky society. Further performances were given on what was an intense US Easter tour in Washington Texas Boston and Vermont. I've also performed the transcription in Canada and the UK.

Par RACHMANINOV SERGEI. Alongside HN 1264 (the Etude in e flat minor op. 39, 5), Henle are now offering the Etude In C Major in a single edition, taken from their much-loved complete edition of the 17 Études-Tableaux. Rachmaninoff greatly valued this work, often included it in his concert programmes and also recorded it. A longing melody unfolds over a simple accompaniment. This charming piece that alternates between major and minoris a good technical exercise for the crossing over of the hands, but does not contain nearly as many difficulties as Rachmaninoff ’s other etudes and is thus also manageable by advanced amateurs. They will be aided in theHenle Urtext edition by the helpful fingerings provided by the virtuoso Marc-André Hamelin./ Etude / Piano

The Piano Works of Rachmaninoff Volume III: Morceaux de salon Op. 10 and Six moments musicaux Op. 16 Rachmaninoff Sergei (1873 - 1943) At the age of 20 having recently graduated from the Moscow Conservatory Rachmaninoff wrote his Morceaux de Salon Op. 10 in 1893 and 3 years later the six Moments Musicaux. These beautiful works display a simple often Chopinesque style of romanticism while bearing the unmistakable Russian flavor the composer captured in all his work. This is the 1989 Belwin-Mills edition.

Internationally renowned concert pianist Joseph Banowetz presents this definitive collection of original masterworks by Sergei Rachmaninoff featuring a comprehensive preface, composer biography, vintage photographs, and detailed performance notes on the solos. A concert performance CD is included with the book. The most famous solo pieces by Rachmaninoff are included: Elgie, Prlude, and Polichinelle from Opus 3, Nocturne, Humoresque, and Romance from Opus 10, Moment Musical from Opus 16; and Rachmaninoff's transcriptions of works by other composers. Joseph Banowetz graduated with a First Prize from the Vienna Akademie fr Musik und darstellende Kunst. Banowetz has been a piano recitalist and orchestral soloist on five continents. He was awarded the Liszt Medal by the Hungarian Liszt Society in recognition of his outstanding performances of Liszt and the Romantic literature.

With his Etudes-Tableaux Rachmaninoff continued down the path that Chopin and Liszt had already set out on with their concert etudes: the most demanding technical tasks are presented in the form of expressive character pieces. Rachmaninoff composed two cycles, each originally with nine Etudes-Tableaux- however, shortly before Opus 33 went to print, he removed three of the pieces. Several posthumous editions later reversed this decision. However, in our edition we follow the exact structure with six pieces as laid out by Rachmaninoff for publication. The two surviving etudes that were not originally published are reprinted in an appendix to our Urtext edition. / Piano
