SERGI VASSILIEVITCH RACHMANINOV
1^st April 1873 --- 28^th March 1943

Sergei Vassilievich Rachmaninov, (1873 1943), Russian pianist and composer, born Oneg, Novgorod, of the old Russian landed
gentry. From the age of 9 to 11 he studied in St Petersburg Conservatory, afterwards at Moscow Conservatory, where he was a
pupil of Zverev, Yaneiev, Arensky and Siloti. After a few years he began to give music lessons for a living.

He composed an opera Aleko for his final examination he obtained the gold medal in 1892. He taught at the Maryinski Institute
in Moscow, 1893 to 96, and conducted private opera in Moscow for Mamontov, 1897-98. The failure of his first Symphony in St
Petersburg seem's to have depressed him greatly, but in London in 1899 he recovered his spirits when he played and conducted
works of his own with success. On his return to Moscow again his old despondency returned until 1901, when he was cured by
treatment. It was then that he wrote his second piano concerto, in C minor, the preludes for piano and some songs.

He conducted the Moscow opera from 1904 to 1906, and then spent 2 years in Dresden, with touring intervals. In Dresden he
composed his second symphony, in E minor (1907), the first sonata for piano, the symphonic poem for orchestra, The Isle of the
Dead, and the third concerto for piano and orchestra. After the Russian Revolution he settled in the U.S.A. here he worked as a
pianist and conductor. His compositions include 2 symphonies, 4 piano concertos, 3 operas, several, choral works, piano pieces
and songs. As a pianist Rachmaninov stood in the very first rank.

Rachmaninoff's died on the 28th March 1943.
