Sergei Vasilyevich Rachmaninoff
1 April [O.S. 20 March] 1873[c][d] – 28 March 1943)
was a Russian composer, virtuoso pianist, and conductor of the late Romantic period.
The influence of Tchaikovsky, Rimsky-Korsakov, Balakirev, Mussorgsky, and other Russian composers is seen in his early works, later giving way to a personal style notable for song-like melodicism, expressiveness and rich orchestral colours. (1 abr 1873 año – 28 mar 1943 año)
