Symphonic Dances (1940) is Rachmaninoff's last major work, which in a sense has a final character. It embodies one of the main themes of the composer's oeuvre - the theme of motherland. In addition to the score, Rachmaninoff created an arrangement of the Symphonic Dances for two pianos, which is published in this volume. The musical text is verified according to the lifetime edition of the work (1942) and provided with comments.
The publication is intended for researchers studying the works of Sergei Rachmaninoff and the history of Russian musical culture, for use in concert and educational practice, as well as for sheet music libraries.
