This Value
Pack includes
Rachmaninoff's
Fantaisie-tableaux (Suite
No. 1), Op. 5 and Suite
No. 2, Op.
17.
Fantaisie-tabl
eaux (Suite No. 1), the
large four-movement work,
was written in 1893 and
premiered by Rachmaninoff
and Pavel Pabst in
Moscow. It is dedicated
to Peter Ilyich
Tchaikovsky. A few lines
of poetry by Romantic
poets preface each
movement. The theme of
love in the first two
movements is brought to
life by the two pianos
with colorful, passionate
writing. The final two
movements feature the
sound of bells---the
third movement inspired
by cathedrals bells that
Rachmaninoff heard as a
youngster, and the fourth
movement capturing the
jubilant sound of Easter
carillon.
Suite
No. 2, Op. 17 was written
between 1900 and 1901,
and was premiered in 1901
by Rachmaninoff and
Alexander Siloti. This
virtuosic suite is
orchestral in nature and
contains four movements.
The first movement serves
as a march-like
introduction, and the
second and fourth
movements are dances---a
waltz and tarantella.
Between the two dances is
a slow third movement.
Two copies required for
performance.
