This historic reference edition of Sergei Rachmaninoff's Rhapsody on a Theme by Paganini, Op. 43 is composed of a theme and 24 variations. The most notable variation is the 18th, which has been used in countless movies and classical music CD complications. Also included is an outstanding CD recording, from the Naxos label, by internationally renowned artist, Idil Biret, with the Polish National Radio Symphony Orchestra, Antoni Wit conducting. Biret has made more than 70 recordings and has received numerous awards including: Lily Boulanger Memorial, Boston; Harriet Cohen - Dinu Lipatti gold medal, London; Chevalier de l'Ordre du Merite, France; State Artist, Turkey and many others.

The world-famous Rachmaninoff "Eighteenth Variation" has probably graced as many pianos and recitals as has any favorite solo. Lambert's arrangement has faithfully maintained the beauty of the original for intermediate pianists.

The six "Musical Moments" Opus 16 are a set of separate solo works for piano composed by Rachmaninoff in 1896. They present forms characteristic of previous musical eras, such as nocturne, song without words, barcarolle, etude, and theme and variations. Titles: No. 1 in B-Flat Minor * No. 2 in E-Flat Minor * No. 3 in B Minor * No. 4 in E Minor * No. 5 in D-Flat Major * No. 6 in C Major.

A rare volume dedicated entirely to scholarship on the genre of the concerto.

This beautiful edition is made from the original 1934 2-piano score which is a reduction made by Rachmaninoff himself. The score is very clear and readable, and is configured in 4-staff systems, Piano I and Piano II, so two separate books are required for performance.

An Oboe solo, composed by Benedetto Marcello.
