Description:
Although Sergei Rachmaninoff only left behind a relatively small oeuvre for string instrument and piano in comparison to his more substantial groups of works, these few works date from all phases of his compositional activity. Their patrons, dedicatees and important performers often came from his closest musical circle.
The chamber music for violin and piano includes the "Morceaux de salon" op. 6 (consisting of "Romance" and "Danse hongroise"), a "Romance" in A minor that has only survived posthumously and Rachmaninoff's arrangement of Modest Mussorgsky's "Hopak", the finale of his unfinished opera "The Sorochintsy Fair". These works were written as part of his friendship or even collaboration with the violinists Julius Conus (1869-1942) and probably Fritz Kreisler (1875-1962), among others.
