I could swear Rachmaninoff uses the exact same chords/theme from 8:22 - 8:35 in one of his piano concertos... Maybe his 4th concerto? That beautiful series of chords definitely received a second use/got recycled by him haha. And no shade, because it's beautiful, so why not? Never knew that it also showed up in this etude-tableau in C minor.
It was originally written for the etude, op 33 no 3, but Rachmaninoff kept it in his desk (with another etude) the reason is unknown but he definitely reused the theme in his 4th concerto. Personally, I love the etude op 33 no 3 too much. I think it is one of the pieces that prove that Rachmaninoff went the furthest into the human sole!!
This Rach 3 section is often overshadowed by others, im glad you included it. However, expand the list since some pieces like the second symphony deserve a place too.
great list - but what is with the recent surge of rachmaninoff highlight sheet music videos lately? i would also add op 16 no 5, piano concerto mvmt 2 coda, op 22 variations 16, some momements from op 23 no 4, 6 & 10, 2nd movement of op 28 piano sonata 1, the first appearane of the 2nd e flat major theme in 1st movement of 3rd piano concerto, op 32 no 5, op 39 no 2 the moment from op 33 no 3 but in the 4th piano concerto, variation 15 from corelli, variation 18 from paganini
Other than the obvious complaints about the missing Symphony no. 2 and Rhapsody on a Theme of Paganini, I’d also like to moan about the lack of Zdes' Khorosho and Preludes (no D major or E flat major!?)
Nothing from the preludes? It is beautiful here? ( i forget the russian title) or many moments in the first 3 movements of the 2nd symphony? Too many to puck from his second piano sonata aswell...
@@clumpy9484 it's not since the adagio have been used a lot in movie history and even the "5th concerto" while the sonata isn't. When something is liked it's pretty much evident, and not subject to opinion. Again, read the title of the video.
@@damiangilz Beethovens Fur Elise is probably the most recognisable melody has been used countless times in films, television etc. but just because its popular it doesn't make it artistically brilliant. (althought some people will say it is - because like i said before - art IS and always will be subjective). Its like Im talking to a unartistic brick wall! you have a lot to learn in the arts my friend.
The fourth movement of the same cello sonata is also beautiful !

Yes, he did use it in his 4th. This Etude was actually unpublished until after his death.
@@elliottherring5021 Thanks for confirming! I knew I'd heard it before. Didn't know that this etude was published posthumously.

The similarities actually continue until around 9:00 which is mind blowing until you learn of the context, which I just did right now!

Not a single Symphony 2 moment here? Ridiculous
Adagio is hands down the most beautiful movements imo
The first and second are superior@@giovannib27
Looks like this playlist is focused on piano
symphonies are boring🥱
@@Op25No2ur boring

What about the adagio movement of op.18? or his 18th variation on the Paganini Rhapsody?
Last one used in piano concerto no.4

Piano sonata No 2 op 36 ou Preludes Op 23 No 4
2:58 has gotta be the biggest SIKE in music history
Where can I find this piano plus orchestra reduction music sheet?
What about the adagio of the 2nd symphony? Much nicer than the first sonata of this list.
art is subjective, and everyone knows the adagio from the 2nd, its nice to see some more less-known works such as the the cello sonata.
@@clumpy9484 so it's better because it's less known? Re-read the title of the video.
never said one was better than the other. i said art is subjective. @@damiangilz

Not a single goosebump was raised. Guess I don't like being emotionally manipulated.
Except this,cello sonata,& one of his piano precludes most of Rachmaninoff sounds too saccharine & phony. Another Beethoven????? Bullsh--t!!!!😛😜👹👹
silly list, but thanks for sharing
