Rhapsody on a Theme of Paganini, Op. 43: 18th variation is known as one of Rachmaninoff's most famous pieces. This piece is the theme song in the famous movie, "Somewhere in Time". It was released on October 3, 1980 in the US only. The movie starred Christopher Reeve, Jane Seymour, and Christopher Plummer. The part where Rhapsody on a Theme of Paganini played was a beautiful scene where Christopher and Jane reunited. Ironically this scene was shot on Mackinaw Island in the summer on the beach. Later in the movie you see the famous Grand Hotel. The song fits the scene perfectly, because it is soft and mellow but not boring. It expresses the emotions of the two actors towards each other. This is only one example of Sergei Rachmaninoff's music in movies and i'm sure there are many more. Thursday, December 15, 2011
