- Violin. Sergei Rachmaninoff. Morceaux de Salon, Op. 6 - 1. Romance.
Sergei Vasilyevich Rachmaninoff (1 April [O.S. 20 March] 1873 - 28 March 1943) was a Russian composer, virtuoso pianist, and conductor. Rachmaninoff is widely considered one of the finest pianists of his day and, as a composer, one of the last great representatives of Romanticism in Russian classical music.
The Morceaux de salon consists of a Romance and a Danse hongroise (Hungarian dance). Both pieces are written in D minor.
Romance
The Romance begins with the main theme on the violin, underlined by flowing arpeggio piano accompaniment. In development, the theme is played in double stop octaves on the violin, with the piano writing also becoming fuller and more dramatic. The recapitulation leads to a short, passionate, cadenza on the violin, before concluding pianissimo in a D minor chord.
Danse hongroise
In stark contrast to the Romance, the Danse hongroise, marked Vivace, is a brilliant and virtuosic show piece. At one point, the piano seems to echo an idea from the main theme of the Romance.
