Leopold Stokowski (friend and collaborator): Eulogy Upon Death of Sergei Rachmaninoff, March 28, 1943, Los Angeles: “The musical personality of Rachmaninoff is unique. His music expresses the intensity and nostalgia, the vitality and the vivid coloring, the dramatic rhythm of Slavic art. The emotional and imaginative side of his music is rich in the mysterious and the intangible---those remote moods of the spirit which carry us far from everyday life and open for us visions of heart which completely transform our existence.” It is said that this Prelude, Op. 32, No. 10 was the composer Rachmaninoffs favorite.
