This beautiful edition is made from the original 1934 2-piano score which is a reduction made by Rachmaninoff himself. The score is very clear and readable, and is configured in 4-staff systems, Piano I and Piano II, so two separate books are required for performance.

5.0 out of 5 stars
My favorite piece for the piano,
By Bull Durham (United States) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Rhapsody on a Theme by Paganini, Opus 43" (Belwin Edition) (Paperback)
Many people are familiar with the 18th variation of "Rhapsody on a Theme by Paganini" from the movie "Somewhere in Time." It's a very romantic piece. If you familiar with the 18th variation only, you should treat yourself to listening to all the variations played back to back in the "Rhapsody."This book has those variations which have been reduced by Rachmaninoff for two pianos/four hands. I wish, of course, it had been a piano solo, because I would probably get a lot more use out of it. "Rhapsody" is strictly for the advanced pianist. This edition has no fingering notations which would have been helpful for all except the most advanced players. And, those players may find Rachmaninoff's "Rhapsody" not as challenging or rewarding because of the repetition involved in its themes. However, I find "Rhapsody" very rewarding to play largely due to its romantic themes and its capacity for expressive interpretations. The 18th variation played by itself is an enjoyable recital piece. I give this book my highest recommendation.

The piece itself is great, as you might already know. This edition of the score is clean and clear, and I feel very comfortable reading it.
