Slide 3
S. V. Rachmaninov’s interest in music was revealed in early childhood. His first piano lessons were given to him by his mother, then music teacher A.D. Ornatskaya was invited. With her support, in the fall of 1882, Rachmaninov entered the junior department of the St. Petersburg Conservatory in the class of V.V. Demyansky. Studying at the St. Petersburg Conservatory was going poorly, since Rachmaninov often skipped classes, so at the family council it was decided to transfer the boy to Moscow, and in the fall of 1885 he was accepted into the third year of the junior department of the Moscow Conservatory under Professor N. S. Zverev.
Slide 4
Rachmaninov spent several years in the famous Moscow private boarding school of the music teacher Nikolai Zverev, whose pupil was also Alexander Nikolaevich Scriabin and many other outstanding Russian musicians (Alexander Ilyich Ziloti, Konstantin Nikolaevich Igumnov, Arseny Nikolaevich Koreshchenko, Matvey Leontyevich Presman, etc.). Here, at the age of 13, Rachmaninov was introduced to Pyotr Ilyich Tchaikovsky, who later took a great part in the fate of the young musician.
Slide 5
At the age of 19, Rachmaninov graduated from the conservatory as a pianist (with A.I. Ziloti) and as a composer with a large gold medal. By that time, his first opera had appeared - “Aleko” (thesis work) based on A. S. Pushkin’s work “Gypsies”, his first piano concerto, a number of romances, pieces for piano, including a prelude in C sharp minor, which later became one of the most famous works Rachmaninov.
Slide 6
Rachmaninov gained fame early on as a composer, pianist and conductor. However, his successful career was interrupted on March 15, 1897 by the unsuccessful premiere of the First Symphony (conducted by A.K. Glazunov), which ended in complete failure both due to poor quality performance and, mainly, due to the innovative nature of the music. According to A.V. Ossovsky, Glazunov’s inexperience as an orchestra leader during rehearsals played a certain role. This event caused a serious nervous illness. During 1897-1901, Rachmaninov was unable to compose, and only the help of an experienced psychiatrist, Dr. Nikolai Dahl, helped him overcome the crisis.
Slide 7
On November 1, 1918, he and his family sailed from Norway to New York. Until 1926 he did not write significant works; The creative crisis thus lasted for about 10 years. Only in 1926-1927. new works appear: the Fourth Concerto and Three Russian Songs. During his life abroad (1918-1943), Rachmaninov created only 6 works that belong to the pinnacles of Russian and world music.
Slide 8
He chose the United States as his place of permanent residence, toured extensively in America and Europe, and was soon recognized as one of the greatest pianists of his era and a major conductor. In 1941 he completed his last work, recognized by many as his greatest creation, Symphonic Dances. During the Great Patriotic War Rachmaninov gave several concerts in the USA, all the proceeds from which he sent to the Red Army Fund. He donated the money collected from one of his concerts to the USSR Defense Fund with the words: “From one of the Russians, all possible assistance to the Russian people in their fight against the enemy. I want to believe, I believe in complete victory.” It is known that a combat aircraft was built for the needs of the army with the composer’s money.
