Arrangements?

There is no list of arrangements by Rachmaninoff, for instance, his arrangement of The Flight of the Bumblebee by Rimsky-Korsakov? Does anyone have a list of his arrangements. Kind regards, Coeshee 14:59, 25 June 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Rewrite

I am heading a rewrite of this page, at my sandbox: User:Alton/Work. Please improve it if you can. I will be replacing the extant page with it soon, if there are no objections. ALTON .ıl 06:02, 16 September 2007 (UTC)[reply]

I want to reorganize this list into a classified list by instrumentation. Doing it by Opus has several drawbacks: most of his compositions are not in his opus, and it makes them seem less important in a separate section (contrary to my previous edit summary, I know). Because Rachmaninoff was not a narrow composer, like Chopin, who basically only wrote for piano, there is a good balance of pieces for all instrumentations, and it is easier to look up specific pieces. Usually when one uses a reference book to find pieces, he or she does not use opus number. I don't. ALTON .ıl 01:25, 27 November 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Ossia

Should the audio file for the ossia from the third piano concerto really be marked as complete? True, it is the complete ossia, but it is not the complete movement of the concerto. Asmeurer (talk ♬ contribs) 05:38, 26 November 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Good point. Sorted. ALTON .ıl 11:18, 25 November 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Missing piano works?

The two links below have a few pieces that this page does not (and likewise Wikipedia has a couple pieces that pianopedia does not). I'm no Rachmaninoff scholar, so I'm not going to try and be a trailblazer, but can someone be an arbiter and figure out if we should add things to this page like the Star-Spangled Banner transcription or the Symphonic Dances arrangement? Thanks!

Edit: I just realized that the Star-Spangled Banner and song transcriptions may be scores that people have transcribed from Rachmaninoff's recordings (easily findable on iTunes). So maybe they weren't really compositions, just others transcribing his playing....? 75.6.235.243 (talk) 02:46, 26 May 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Two Sacred Songs for Soprano and Piano

The two 1916 songs listed presently as A prayer (aka Molitva) and All things wish to sing (aka Vsyo khochet pet’) are referred to as “Two Sacred Songs for Soprano and Piano” on the Sydney Symphony/IODA release “Rare Rachmaninoff” but I can’t find any more information about this two-piece collection. The obvious questions are, was this ever published as such and, if so, by whom? Grjako (talk) 13:15, 16 August 2010 (UTC)[reply]

"All By Myself"?

Should we include Eric Carmen's song "All by Myself" in Rachmaninoff's compositions? It did borrow from Piano Concerto No. 2. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 50.105.0.173 (talk) 15:12, 23 June 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Of course not. That’s an absurd suggestion.TheScotch (talk) 19:58, 16 August 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Though I would agree with you, it is credited to Rachmaninoff, as well as Never gonna Fall in Love Again. Hoberspelicea (talk) 03:38, 2 December 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Picture caption

Why is the caption for the picture to the right of Morceaux de fantaisie and Morceaux de salon just "info]])"? George8211 (talk | mail) 12:41, 7 August 2013 (UTC)[reply]
