Piano Concerto No. 3 (Rachmaninoff)

Rachmaninoff proofing copies of the concerto in 1910

Sergei Rachmaninoff's Piano Concerto No. 3 in D minor, Op. 30, was composed in the summer of 1909. The piece was premiered on November 28 of that year in New York City with the composer as soloist, accompanied by the New York Symphony Society under Walter Damrosch.[1] The work has the reputation of being one of the most technically challenging piano concertos in the standard classical piano repertoire.[2][3][4]
