Jan 31, 2024 · The Story: The composition of Rachmaninoff’s Third Piano Concerto in 1909 is mysterious. The composer made no mention of it in his writings until much later, and his family did not even know he was composing the work until it was finished.
Oct 7, 2020 · The Piano Concerto #3 by Rachmaninov was first performed on Sunday, November 28, 1909 in New York City. Sergei Rachmaninoff was the soloist. The work received a second performance under conductor Gustav Mahler on January 16, 1910, an “experience Rachmaninoff treasured.”
This concerto is one of the most technically challenging pieces of music ever composed for piano. Rachmaninoff dedicated it to Polish pianist Joseph Hoffmann, who never performed it in public, saying it was “not for him.”
