Rachmaninoff, part2 (1) As we talked about musical traditions, we may continue to talk about his education- most of his relatives were musicians, and first music classes he got from his own mother at the age of four, and then, showing a lot of talent and dedication, Rachmaninoff was sent to a teacher called Zverev - he lived with him for 4 years and befriended Alexander Scriabin(pianist, composer). After this he was enrolled to a Moscow conservatory, where he was an excellent student, and got a gold medal for writing his opera “Aleko” (only in 17 days.1892, 19 years old)

Rachmaninoff completed his symphony 1 and its premiere was in 1897, which was a failure, and it leaded him to a deep depression. Three years, without composing anything, he was trying to recover with the help of the doctor named Nikolai Dahl, to whom Rachmaninoff dedicated his second concert with piano after he got better.
