Dramatic and lyrical by turns, this work displays Rachmaninoff's keyboard characteristics: intense Russian flavor, rich and bold sonorities, compelling rhythmic drive, and brilliant virtuosity. It opens with a somber "Introduction," followed by a lively and lyrical "Waltz." The languid, melodic "Romanza" is succeeded by a "Tarantella," in which the popular theme from Italian folk music is expressed in turn by each of the two players for a high-energy dialog that brings the piece to a spirited conclusion. Perfect for duets, this edition includes two complete copies of the work.
