i just love how this piece sounds more and more russian as it progresses

@calebhu6383 5 жыл бұрын

What? No Russian composer has ever composed in this style- the arranger, Gryaznov, is Russian but he wrote it in the style of Liszt and Thalberg. Rachmaninov only wrote the melody and he would never write a piece in such showoff style.

@tchaikoffkey 5 жыл бұрын

Caleb Hu really? He would NEVER write a piece in such a showoff style? Well ignore his concertos, etude-tableaux, moments musical (especially 2,4, and 6) and many of his preludes, and you might be right.

@flyingpenandpaper6119 5 жыл бұрын

@@tchaikoffkey They're not show-off pieces... They're merely difficult pieces that make full use of a pianist's hands. Rachmaninoff was not afraid to write simple music if simple meant beautiful.

@calebhu6383 4 жыл бұрын

@@tchaikoffkey "Show-off" refers to the style of Thalburg, Dreyschock, and to some extent, Liszt. Simply put, it's music with an emphasis on sounding difficult rather than music for the sake of music. Listen to Cziffra's transcriptions, for example. Rachmaninov never wrote anything resembling that. That is why I contend that this piece sounds less and less Russian as it goes along.
