18th variation from Rhapsody on a Theme of Paganini Sergei Rachmaninoff (1873 - 1943) |
||
| This hauntingly beautiful fragment is taken from Rachmaninoff's famous set of variations for piano and orchestra. The work, which was written in America in 1934, is based on a Paganini caprice. The composer made his own transcription for two pianos and this variation has become one of our favourite encores. | ||
