In Honor of 
Rachmaninov's 150th anniversary
Sonata for Cello & Piano in G minor

The Sonata for Cello in G minor was Rachmaninov’s last chamber work and was dedicated  to his friend,  the eminent Russian cellist  Anatoliy Brandukov, who performed its premiere -- with Rachmaninov himself playing  the piano part, which demanded  the composer's own extraordinary level of proficiency.
Most of the themes of the sonata are introduced by the piano, and then repeated and embellished by the cello.  As a result it is often referred to as the "Sonata in G minor for Cello and Piano."
