Rachmaninoff- Vocalise op.34 no.14, for cello and piano

A vocalise is a vocal exercise without words, such that the singer can focus on the melody and technique.  Rachmaninoff's was no exception, though his was intended to be performance worthy-- he chose the form to highlight the work's gorgeous melody.  It was immensely popular, so Rachmaninoff arranged the piece for a variety of instruments over the following years: solo piano, violin and piano, cello and piano, orchestra, and more.
