Sergei Rachmaninov (1 April [O.S. 20 March] 1873 – 28 March 1943) was a Russian composer, virtuoso pianist, and conductor. He is widely considered one of the finest pianists of his day and, as a composer, one of the last great representatives of Romanticism in Russian classical music. His music was influenced by TchaikovskyArensky and Taneyev. Rachmaninov wrote five works for piano and orchestra: four concertos and the Rhapsody on a Theme of Paganini. He also composed a number of works for orchestra alone, including three symphonies, the Symphonic Dances Op. 45, and four symphonic poems.

The Beaux Arts Trio made their debut on 13 July 1955, at the Berkshire Music Festival, Massachusetts, United States, and performed their final concert on 6 September 2008 in Lucerne, Switzerland. Throughout its existence, the trio was held together by founding pianist Menahem Pressler, while the violin and cello members changed on a number of occasions. During their more than 50 years of active, the Beaux Arts Trio had recorded the entire standard piano trio repertoire. Their recordings gained international acclaim, and was instrumental in reviving the art of the piano trio as a prominent genre in classical music.
