Sergei
Rachmaninoff (1873-1943)
was a pianist and
composer of international
stature and one of the
towering figures of early
20th century music. He
left behind an ouvre
consisting of some 170
works, many of which
await discovery or are
known only in forms far
removed from the
composer's intentions.
Sergei Rachmaninoff :
Critical Edition of the
Complete Works (RCW), a
project issued by Russian
Music Publishing, is the
first complete edition of
Rachmaninoff 's music
prepared in accordance
with scholarly criteria
while meeting the demands
of performers. It
catalogues, explores, and
annotates every available
musical, literary, and
iconographic source on
Rachmaninoff 's music.
The RCW is published
under the scholarly
auspices of Dr. Valentin
Antipov. The editorial
standards of the RCW
satisfy the most
discerning criteria and
are safeguarded by an
Editorial Board of
internationally
acknowledged authorities
in Rachmaninoff
scholarship. Alexandre
Rachmaninoff (1933-2012),
the composer's grandson,
has been retained as a
special advisor. The RCW
is furthermore realized
in close cooperation with
the Glinka State Central
Museum of Musical
Culture, which houses one
of the most extensive
collections of
Rachmaninoff autographs
worldwide. All sources
are consulted for the
first time and all
compositions are
presented in their
authentic form with all
existing versions from
the composer.
