Somewhere In Time: Rachmaninoff's Rhapsody On A Theme Of Paganini, Variation 18 by Piano in a Living Room published on 2013-08-08T05:18:16Z Variation 18 of Rachmaninoff's Rhapsody on a Theme of Paganini composed in 1934. Rachmaninoff said of this piece: "This one, is for my agent." as he sensed it would become a commercial hit. It's composed by playing upside down the original melody from Paganini. The original is like a piano concerto (solo piano vs orchestra) and I'm trying to do it on a single keyboard with sampled sounds. The theme was used in the movie Somewhere in Time in 1980 starring Christopher Reeve and Jane Seymour. The instrument is a Clavia Nord Stage 2 using a sampled Bösendorfer grand piano and sampled orchestra strings. Transcription for solo piano by Hermene W. Eichhorn.
