FTP, what is this rhapsody celebrating the 24th caprice of a famous violinist, written by Sergei Rackmaninoff?
One of this musical work's unusual features is the appearance of the main theme only after an 18-bar introduction and its first main section. The seventh section marks the first use of the Dies Irae theme, which is periodically placed in opposition to the main theme until it concludes with a famous unaccompanied statement of the main theme.
