String Quartet No. 2 by Sergei Rachmaninoff String Quartet - Sheet Music

By Sergei Rachmaninoff
String Quartet

SKU: ST.C745

Composed by Sergei Rachmaninoff. String music. Clifton Edition #C745. Published by Clifton Edition (ST.C745).

ISBN 9790570817450.

Dating from 1896, this two movement work was never published during Rachmaninov's lifetime and only existed in manuscript form. It is likely that these were the first two movements of a larger work, but no evidence of other movements exists.
Consisting of an Allegro Moderato and a funerial Andante Molto Sostenuto this early work, although lacking the emotional and structural weight a mature Rachmaninov might have given it, provides a fascinating insight into the composer's development and is a satisfying work to play.
