The Piano Works of Rachmaninoff, Vol 7: Transcriptions (Piano Solos)

Worth it for the gorgeous Tchaikovsky Romance alone. These transcriptions are some of Rachmaninoff's best piano works. The Tchaikovsky Lullaby is actually a song. In transcribing it, Rachmaninoff does much more than just add the singing line into the composition-- he transposes it into the lush key of C# major, and he brings out the singing tones in a subtle dance between the right and left hand. This piece is a quintessential example of how to get a transcription right!Included in this volume are major works by Bach, Kreisler, and Rach himself. You also get a CD (more value) to help you discover these complex masterpieces. If you are a pianist and a lover of Russian music, I highly recommend folding the Tchaikovsky transcription into your repertory. The Bach Partita is equally stunning and shows the composer's range of styles.This music is not easy to find, and the volume handily places some of Rach's best transcriptions in one volume. The editing is superb, with background information, fingering, alternate note configurations, as well as the previously-mentioned cd. Get this volume now. Any of these works would delight and surprise an audience. They deserve a much wider hearing.

an amazing collection of Rachmaninoff Gems

Just what I was looking for and more. It was the only place I could find Rachmaninoff's transcription of the "Flight of the Bumble Bee." Looking forward to learning the transcriptions of Kreisler in this collection!

Not five stars because it came in a soft package and got a little bit twisted in corners

沢山入っていて、お得。出版社や、エディターに拘らない人でラフマ好きなら買うべき。

ラフマニノフのピアノ独奏のための編曲作品がまとめられている。Schottから出版されているピースものの楽譜の値段が高いので、この価格でこれだけまとまった楽譜が買えるのは有難い。収録曲はラフマニノフの自作歌曲の編曲である"リラの花"と"ひなぎく"。メンデルスゾーンの"真夏の夜の夢"から"スケルツォ"、シューベルトの"どこへ？"、ビゼーの"アルルの女"から"メヌエット"、クライスラーの”愛の悲み"、"愛の喜び"、チャイコフスキーの"子守唄"、ムソルグスキーの"ホパーク"、リムスキー=コルサコフの"熊ん蜂の飛行"、バッハの"無伴奏パルティータ ホ長調"から"前奏曲"、"ガボット"、"ジーグ"。アメリカ国歌やV.R.のポルカは掲載されていないが、これだけの曲数が収録されていればラフマニノフのピアノ独奏用編曲全集と銘打ってもいいだろう。

Spedizione rapida, adoro questi brani 😍
