“…At the age of 13 Rachmaninoff was introduced to Tchaikovsky, who later took a great part in the fate of the young musician; Rachmaninoff became an ardent follower of Tchaikovsky. At the age of 19 he graduated from the Conservatory with a gold medal (composition) and went on a big concert tour in Russia as a pianist, soloist and accompanist. By that time his first opera Aleko was composed, and also first Piano Concerto, romances, pieces for cello and piano and Prelude in C sharp minor, which brought the composer worldwide fame…”
