-Vasilievich (Lance)



Sergei Vasilievich Rachmaninoff[a] (Russian: Сергей Васильевич Рахманинов, Sergej Vasil’evič Rakhmaninov, 1 April 1873 (O.S) 20 March]–28 March 1943) was a Russian composer, pianist, and conductor, one of the last great champions of the Romantic style of European classical music. Rachmaninoff is regarded as one of the most influential pianists of the 20th century. He had legendary technical faculties and rhythmic drive, and his large hands were able to cover the interval of a thirteenth on the keyboard (a hand span of approximately twelve inches). He also had the ability to play complex compositions upon first hearing. His symphonies and other orchestral works, songs and choral music are recognized as masterpieces alongside the more familiar piano works.
