| Added by magataganm, 24 Aug 2012 Sergei Rachmaninov (also spelled Rachmaninoff) was a legendary Russian composer and pianist who emigrated after the Communist revolution of 1917, and became one of the highest paid concert stars of his time, and one of the most influential pianists of the 20th century. Written in 1892, the "Elegy" in Eb Minor begins with mournful, melancholic melody, always moving on the off-beat, that gradually builds in intensity in 3rds and 6ths. A warm, comforting melody wells up from the bass and slowly builds to a soaring climax. The music crashes back down to earth and almost dies out, before the first theme re-emerges, even more beautiful and sad than before. It concludes with one last struggle and a final collapse. Although this piece was originally written for Piano, I adapted this work for solo Concert (Pedal) Harp. Sheet central : | Morceaux de fantaisie (27 sheet music) | | |||
