His first piano sonata is more popular than the second, right?

[edit] Arrangements?

There is no list of arrangements by Rachmaninoff, for instance, his arrangement of The Flight of the Bumblebee by Rimsky-Korsakov? Does anyone have a list of his arrangements. Kind regards, Coeshee 14:59, 25 June 2007 (UTC)

I want to reorganize this list into a classified list by instrumentation. Doing it by Opus has several drawbacks: most of his compositions are not in his opus, and it makes them seem less important in a separate section (contrary to my previous edit summary, I know). Because Rachmaninoff was not a narrow composer, like Chopin, who basically only wrote for piano, there is a good balance of pieces for all instrumentations, and it is easier to look up specific pieces. Usually when one uses a reference book to find pieces, he or she does not use opus number. I don't. ALTON .ıl 01:25, 27 November 2007 (UTC)
