Sergei Rachmaninov finished his Moments Musicaux, op.16
in 1896. This set of solo piano pieces is a very mature example of an early
piano work by the composer. Andante
cantabile is the philosophical climax of the set based on a genre of
funeral march. The final Presto – one
of the most famous piano pieces by Rachmaninov – displays much dramatic passion
and intensity.Stanislav
