Youth Symphony (Rachmaninoff)

Youth Symphony (Rachmaninoff)

Sergei Rachmaninoff first attempted a symphony at the young age of 13. What is most often titled the Youth Symphony in D minor is only the first movement of the work and is the only part of the piece that has survived. It is known that Rachmaninoff completed the work in 1891.
