Rach 2: Themes from Piano Concerto No. 2

This arrangement uses the main themes of the second and third movements of Rachmaninoff’s Piano Concerto No. 2.  It opens with the haunting Adagio sostenuto. The third movement’s rhapsodic main theme is introduced and developed before returning to the Adagio melody with the Moderato theme merging and dominating until the work closes with the initial theme.
