Victor Merzhanov, Professor of Piano at Moscow Conservatory encouraged the development of a Rachmannov Society in Russia.
He makes these comments: |
|
In his piano works, Rachmaninov clearly and diversely demonstrated the remarkable expressive capabilities of the modern piano.
Rachmaninov's melodic language is closely related to the unique character of Russian speech and the Russian language in general, its highly emotional tone, abundance of epithets, plasticity of timing.
The meaning of Rachmaninov's music is in reaching into the depths of a healthy human psyche; it speaks of humanism and sincerity.
The role of Rachmaninov's music is to be a highly potent medicine in the struggle against vulgarity, hypocrisy, and violence which are spread by the mass media world over.
