Abstract
Abstract Sergei Vasilievich Rachmaninoff was born at Semyonovo, district of Starorusky, Russia, on 1 April 1873 and died in Beverly Hills, California, on 28 March 1943. Using some material that goes back to the early 1890s, Rachmaninoff wrote the second and third movements of this Concerto in the fall of 1900 and performed them in Moscow on 15 December that year; his teacher and first cousin, Alexander Siloti, conducted. Rachmaninoff completed the first movement on 4 May 1901 and was soloist at the first complete performance on 9 November that year, again in Moscow and again with Siloti on the podium. The score is dedicated to Dr. Nikolai Dahl. Prokofiev began the Piano Concerto No. 2 in the winter of 1912-1913, completing it in April 1913, while still a student at the Saint Petersburg Conservatory.
