[Publius]

Amid his piano playing and conducting, the 20 year old Sergei Rachmaninov turned out his Two Salon Pieces for Piano and Violin as his Opus 6 in 1893.

The first sounds a bit like Mendelssohn or Kreisler but with a Russian flavor.

Romance, Op. 6/1

The second is sheer fun and a showpiece for the violin.

Hungarian Dance, Op. 6/2

Good evening, Maestro! Thanks for the Rachmaninoff! A real treat!



Genuflectimus non ad principem sed ad Principem Pacis!

Listen, O isles, unto me; and hearken, ye people, from far; The LORD hath called me from the womb; from the bowels of my mother hath he made mention of my name. (Isaiah 49:1 KJV)
