Description
Written between the autumn of 1900 and April 1901, Sergei Rachmaninoff's Concerto for Piano No. 2 remains one of the composer's most enduringly popular pieces and cemented his reputation as composer of concerti. It also served as confirmation of the end of Rachmaninoff's three-year bout with clinical depression and writer's block that stemmed, in part, from the poor reception by critics of his first symphony in 1897. This edition for two pianos, four hands was arranged by Sergei Rachmaninoff. The books are spiral-bound so that each of the two copies needed to rehearse or perform lay-flat. The score and orchestral parts for this work are available from E.F. Kalmus as item A241902.
