1934 Sergei Rachmaninoff Autographed Signed Cut JSA Russian Composer Pianist, measures 3 1/4" x 5 1/4" dated, affixed to a slip of music composition paper.(James Spence Authentication Auction LOA)Sergei Vasilievich Rachmaninoff ( Russian : Серге́й Васи́льевич Рахма́нинов; Russian pronunciation: [sʲɪrˈɡʲej rɐxˈmanʲɪnəf] ; 1 April [ O.S. 20 March] 1873 - 28 March 1943), was a Russian composer , pianist , and conductor . Rachmaninoff is widely considered one of the finest pianists of all time and, as a composer, one of the last great representatives of Romanticism in Russian classical music.Early influences of Tchaikovsky , Rimsky-Korsakov , and other Russian composers gave way to a personal style notable for its song-like melodicism, expressiveness and his use of rich orchestral colors. The piano is featured prominently in Rachmaninoff's compositional output, and through his own skills as a performer he explored the expressive possibilities of the instrument.Rachmaninoff ranked among the finest pianists of his time, along with Leopold Godowsky , Ignaz Friedman , Moriz Rosenthal , Josef Lhevinne , and Josef Hofmann and he was famed for possessing a clean and virtuosic technique. His playing was marked by precision, rhythmic drive, notable use of staccato and the ability to maintain clarity when playing works with complex textures.
