Written between 1900 and 1901, Suite No. 2 was premiered in 1901 by
Rachmaninoff and Alexander Siloti. This virtuosic suite is orchestral in
nature and contains four movements. The first movement serves as a
march-like introduction, and the second and fourth movements are
dances---a waltz and tarantella. Between the two dances is a slow third
movement. Two copies required for performance.
