Sergei Rachmaninoff (1873-1943) completed his Piano Sonata No. 1 in D minor, Op. 28, in 1908, and it is the first of three Dresden pieces, the others being his Symphony No. 2 and part of an opera. Although he eventually abandoned the idea, the sonata was originally inspired by Goethe's play Faust, which has inspired so many works of the 19th and 20th centuries. The premiere took place on October 17, 1908, in Moscow, with Konstantin Igumnov at the piano.

Written between the autumn of 1900 and April 1901, Sergei Rachmaninoff's Concerto for Piano No. 2 remains one of the composer's most enduringly popular pieces and cemented his reputation as composer of concerti. It also served as confirmation of the end of Rachmaninoff's three-year bout with clinical depression and writer's block that stemmed, in part, from the poor reception by critics of his first symphony in 1897. Instrumentation: Solo Piano: 2.2.2.2: 4.2.3.1: Timp.Perc: Str (9-8-7-6-5 in set).
