    Morceaux de fantaisie (French for Fantasy Pieces; Russian: Пьесы Фантазии, Pyesy Fantazii), Op. 3, is a set of five piano solo pieces composed by Sergei Rachmaninoff in 1892. The title reflects the pieces' imagery rather than their musical form, as none are actual fantasies. The set was dedicated to Anton Arensky, his harmony teacher at the Conservatory.

    It's so strange hearing the way Rachmaninoff plays in all of his recordings. He disregards his own scores so much and it makes it so fascinating and proves that perfection to the score isn't as important as artistic interpretation

      @AngelLopez-pc1pw 5 років тому +155

      it's the height of arrogance to think that the composer disregards his score. The more humble thought would be that perhaps all the other performers have been interpreting the score incorrectly, because in fact, they can play notes, but THE TRUTH IN THE MUSIC is lost on them.

      @Spinach and Scenery Why would Valentina Lisitsa believe that there is a difference between the score and the composer? Music history is rife with examples of composers demanding that their music be performed exactly as written. If one believes that a composer is competent at notating his ideas in notes, then disregarding the score is tantamount to disregarding the composer.

      With Rach, *what you saw was what you got*. He was, literally, "somebody to look up to", and not only physically. He was quiet and dedicated, a great husband and father, and never indulged in the "superstar" antics of Vladi Horowitz. From the biography, "Horowitz" by Glenn Plaskin (p. 112): "After Horowitz' American debut in Carnegie Hall performing the Tchaikovsky First Piano Concerto in 1928, Rachmaninoff told him, "You may be the loudest and the fastest but I must tell you that it was not musical." RIP...

    if anyone asks, the performance comes from ampico piano roll n. 69253. Rachmaninoff also performed several works on piano rolls. Several manufacturers, in particular the Aeolian Company, published his compositions on perforated music rolls from about 1900 onwards. His sister-in-law, Sofia Satina, remembered him at the family estate at Ivanovka, pedalling gleefully through a set of rolls of his Second Piano Concerto, apparently acquired from a German source, most probably the Aeolian Company's Berlin subsidiary, the Choralion Company. Aeolian in London created a set of three rolls of this concerto in 1909, which remained in the catalogues of its various successors until the late 1970s. From 1919 he made 35 piano rolls (12 of which were his own compositions), for the American Piano Company (Ampico)'s reproducing piano. According to the Ampico publicity department, he initially disbelieved that a roll of punched paper could provide an accurate record, so he was invited to listen to a proof copy of his first recording. After the performance, he was quoted as saying "Gentlemen-I, Sergei Rachmaninoff, have just heard myself play!" For demonstration purposes, he recorded the solo part of his Second Piano Concerto for Ampico, though only the second movement was used publicly and has survived. He continued to make roll recordings until around 1929, though his last roll, the Chopin Scherzo in B-flat minor, was not published until October 1933.

Now I am 57 years and that love is going stronger and stronger. In april 2021 there will be my first grand child, a grand daugther, I shall listen to Rachmaninoff with her. I hope so will love classical music as much as I do. Greetings from the Netherlands.

      Yes, we can "be kind, caring, thoughtful, and loving to everyone", that is, if we want to end up someone's dinner or slave, much like the Eloi of H. G. Well's imagination. I on the other hand, will reject such shallow and mendacious sentiments and face reality. Hate clarifies when sentiment only obfuscates and confuses. Hate seeks justice when someone you love is severely harmed. Hate focuses like a laser beam on unassimilable differences and reminds you that to have a discriminating mind is wise and prudent, whilst having an indiscriminate mind is to follow the garden path to an untimely destruction of not only yourself, but possibly on those you love. Both hate and love are necessary to human life. To separate the two is like separating math and science. You can't do it!

      I agree. After a while of listening to the master pianists, you will notice that they are rarely sentimental. It's not because they don't love the piece; it's because they love it enough to play it as it should be played.

    The astounding clarity of this recording makes it painfully obvious that this was not an original recording of Elegie by Rachmaninoff. I believe this is taken from the CD whereby the sound engineers took the piano rolls generated from Rachmaninoff’s playing and then transcribed them into a digital format (i.e. “digitized rolls”) and then ran these “digitized rolls” thru a Bosendorfer which had the computer hardware to read them. I have both CDs and they are AMAZING! I believe the CD is titled “A Window in Time”.

    Heartbreaking and bleak. This one brings to me the emotions of romantic love, especially unrequited romantic feeling. The romance comes from the syncopated rhythm (though other performances use that syncopation more than Rachmaninov does here!) It perfectly describes the highs and lows of limerence. The middle part is the essence of bliss and madness. As an elegy though, it is also evocative of great grief and loss. That is clear towards the end in particular. Overall, this is one of my absolute favourite pieces of music. I couldn't stop listening to it when I found it.
