Referat Rachmaninoff

Descriere referat:

Sergei Vassilievitch Rachmaninoff was born on April 2, 1873 at Oneg, Novgorod, Russia. He died in Beverly Hills, California, March 28, 1943. Rachmaninoff's Legacy All during his life, and for many decades after his passing, Sergei Rachmaninoff was regarded as an anomaly, a throwback to the 19th century, as his music always expressed itself through an unabashedly Romantic language: At times haunting and foreboding (prevestitoare); at others, gentle, passionate and con molte dolce. But always, all these conflicting feelings are expressing his greatest works - such as the Symphony No. 2, the Rhapsody on a Theme of Paganini and Symphonic Dances. If listening to Rachmaninoff seemed to some a futile exercise in depression and an exploration of the depths of sorrow, this was because of the complexity of the composer himself. But that was only half of the story; for the listener will have found himself transported from the inevitability of death, to rise above the despair and exalt in the life-affirming, powerful finales for which the composer was so well-known. To hear Rachmaninoff's music is to understand the soul of the composer himself. While composing, he literally poured himself into his compositions. After his Symphony No. 1 had a disastrous premiere in Moscow in 1897, Rachmaninoff was so severely depressed, that he sought treatment from hypnotist Dr. Nikolai Dahl. Dr. Dahl repeated to the forlorn(deznadajduit) composer, "you will began to write your concerto....you will work with great facility....the concerto will be of an excellent quality...." The results of these sessions with Dr. Dahl was the emergence of the composer from the throes of depression, and also, perhaps, his most straightforward and beautiful work, the Second Piano Concerto in C- Minor, Op. 18. And yet, the second movement, Adagio sostenuto - although a tender, impassioned liebeslied - eloquently exhibits the composer's sense of wistfulness(visator) and melancholy he was never fully able to overcome. Listen to any of Rachmaninoff's great works: At once they are transcendent and yet so personally private. Rachmaninoff's style of composition grew out of the Romantic period of the late-19th century, in the tradition begun by Mendelssohn, Schumann and Liszt, as carried on by Brahms, Dvorak and Rachmaninoff's own teacher and mentor, Tchaikovsky. Like Tchaikovsky, Rachmaninoff wrote music that was thoroughly Russian, and thoroughly infused with so many of the emotional conflicts and yearnings ingrained in both composers. The Great War and the Bolshevik Revolution had left Europe ravaged, and during this period, Rachmaninoff was one of the many musicians who became an expatriate of his own land, never to return to the Russia he had
