Muse Press Adagio from Symphony No. 2, Op. 27 - Rachmaninoff/Namoradze - Piano - Sheet

Composer: Sergei Rachmaninoff
Arranger: Nicolas Namoradze
Format: Sheet
Instrumentation: Piano

The world-renowned composer/pianist Nicholas Namoradze has made his first arrangement of a symphonic work. One of Rachmaninoff's most famous symphonic works, the Adagio (from Symphony No. 2, Op. 27), still fascinates many people almost 100 years after its composition. Because of the masterpiece, many arrangements for solo piano have been created, but Namoradze, who is also working as a composer, has created an original arrangement that is different from the other arrangements. While respecting the harmonies of the original, Namoradze succeeded in expressing the profundity of the orchestra on the piano, and in the latter half of the piece, pianistic passages appear to keep the performers and the audience entertained. Although the arrangement requires a high level of skill to perform, it is a very effective arrangement.
