Piano Sonata no. 2

Album by Sergei Vasilievich Rachmaninoff & Zoltán Kocsis

Piano Sonata No. 2 in B-flat minor, Op. 36 is a piano sonata by Sergei Rachmaninov, composed in 1913 and revised in 1931. The work exhibits late-Romantic virtuosity with expansive structures, sweeping melodies and dense chromatic harmonies, and the 1931 revision tightened its formal design and pianistic writing, reflecting a refinement in Rachmaninov's compositional approach.
