      A very happy birthday to Sergei Rachmaninov - 1873; and to Sviatoslav Richter (1915). Those who turn up their delicate noses at Rachmaninov's music are depriving themselves of a huge joy: uniquely stirring, magnificently constructed, utterly sincere - his music is a miracle.

      Replying to @StevenIsserlis

      Rachmaninov had the ironical misfortune to compose certain pieces of music so popular that they aroused the small-minded envy of critics and colleagues alike, while blinding less discerning audiences to the wonders of everything else he wrote -- to his own great frustration.

      Replying to @MathPrinceps @StevenIsserlis

      For decades the cognoscenti smugly dismissed Rachmaninov as a mere panderer, a composer of musical treacle whose triviality was revealed by the self-indulgent shapelessness of his largest works. But in fact he was a brilliant, highly motivic designer of large-scale structures.

      The whole of his celebrated (and vast) third piano concerto, for example, is constructed from material presented in its first two measures -- before the entrance of the piano. And Rachmaninov knew from whom to steal, too: this material comes from Mozart.http://bit.ly/2GMHGpa

      Not hearing the Mozart connection...what bar/section of K475?!

      The melodic curve of the opening theme of K475 is perhaps easiest to recognize in the subordinate theme of the first movement of Rachmaninov's Op. 30 (and in the statement of the principal theme in its ossia cadenza.) But it is everywhere, once you start to look for it.

          Thanks, I will have analysis head on next time I listen or play through the Mozart! It’s quite fascinating how composer consciously or sub consciously ‘borrow’ material from each other.
