The SCM Symphony Orchestra conducted by Associate Professor Roger Benedict and featuring pianist Leanne Jin perform Serge Rachmaninoff's Rhapsody on a Theme of Paganini. Twentieth-century Russian composers were highly influenced by the Five as well as Tchaikovsky. This was especially true of Sergei Rachmaninoff, a post-Romantic composer who is also regarded as one of the best pianists of all time. His most famous orchestral works centred around the piano, and Rhapsody on a Theme of Paganini is no exception. As the title suggests, the work utilises the theme of Niccolo Paganini’s Caprice No. 24, a set of theme and variations for the violin. Although Rachmaninoff’s Rhapsody is played as a continuous set of 24 variations, it can actually be divided into three sections that correspond with a typical fast– slow–fast concerto form. The rhapsody begins with a fragmentary introduction of the theme’s skeleton. After its first proper statement, the music fragments and quickens until variation 7 introduces the Dies Irae — a Gregorian chant melody for the Day of the Dead. Its presence here presages its full appearance, hammered by the piano as the first section races to its conclusion. After a brief pause, variation 11 begins the work’s middle, slow movement with a cadenza-like meditation on the theme. The music wanders through a stormy episode, a solo piano variation, and ventures into increasingly mysterious areas before landing in the distant key of D flat major. An inverted version of the theme — gently played by the piano and the strings — rises to an emotional climax as we encounter Rachmaninoff at his most sublime. The final section jolts us back into action with pizzicato chords, as the music gains speed and intensity with each successive variation. The Dies Irae is heard once again as the final and most difficult variation finishes the work with an agile conclusion. Program notes Rafael Echevarria Leanne Jin Leanne is currently completing a Bachelor of Music (Performance) at the Sydney Conservatorium of Music with Natalia Ricci, where she was awarded the John and Dorothy Vimpani Pianoforte Scholarship.
