Homage to S.R. (Opus 11) was written in response to Schneider’s admiration and love of Sergei Rachmaninoff’s music. Rachmaninoff was a Russian composer, virtuoso pianist, and conductor of the late Romantic period. He was born in 1873 and died in 1943. His music is full of many beautiful melodic lines and bold, big chords. If you listen to some of his music, you’ll soon recognize some themes in this piece. Play Homage with conviction and some rubato, while the Adagio requires expression and gentleness.

The second solo is another work for which the performer should create the title. It is an attractive, energetic, dance-like piece which gallops about the keyboard. Both works are ‘must-play’ pieces.
