## Summary

Oversized full orchestral score for Sergei Rachmaninoff's Rhapsody on a Theme of Paganini, Op. 43, for piano and orchestra.

## Description

Written by Sergei Rachmaninoff (1873-1943) in 1934, this set of variations for piano solo and orchestra on Niccolò Paganini's Caprice No. 24 for solo violin is much like a concerto, though it consists of a single movement with an introduction of the theme and twenty-four variations. The most well-known of the variations is the lyrical 18th, and it has been used in numerous movies over the years. In addition to Paganini's theme as the thematic foundation, the Dies irae theme found in the requiem mass and which features so prominently in Berlioz' Symphonie Fantastique is also featured at times. The work premiered with immediate success on November 7th, 1934 by the Philadelphia Orchestra under Leopold Stokowski, with Rachmaninoff himself as soloist. 2+Picc.2+EH.2.2: 4.2.3.1: Timp.Perc(3): Hp: Solo Pno: Str. A full score, oversized score, and study score are available from the publisher, but the set of parts is not. 11x14 oversized score. This product is Printed on Demand and may take several weeks to fulfill. Please order from your favorite retailer.
