Abstract Details

2018, DMA, University of Cincinnati, College-Conservatory of Music: Piano.
This document examines two of Sergei Rachmaninoff’s early piano works, Morceaux de Fantaisie, Op. 3 (1892) and Moments Musicaux, Opus. 16 (1896), as they relate to the piano works of Frederic Chopin. The five short pieces that comprise Morceaux de Fantaisie and the six Moments Musicaux are reminiscent of many of Chopin’s piano works; even as the sets broadly build on his character genres such as the nocturne, barcarolle, etude, prelude, waltz, and berceuse, they also frequently are modeled on or reference specific Chopin pieces. This document identifies how Rachmaninoff’s sets specifically and generally show the influence of Chopin’s style and works, while exploring how Rachmaninoff used Chopin’s models to create and present his unique compositional identity. Through this investigation, performers can better understand Chopin’s influence on Rachmaninoff’s piano works, and therefore improve their interpretations of his music.
