Abstract
Sergei Wassiljewitsch Rachmaninow (russisch Сергей Васильевич Рахманинов, wiss. Transliteration Sergej Vasil’evič Rachmaninov; er selbst benutzte als Umschrift seines Namens Rachmaninoff; * 20. Märzjul./ 1. April 1873greg. auf dem Landgut Semjonowo bei Staraja Russa im Gouvernement Nowgorod, Russisches Kaiserreich; † 28. März 1943 in Beverly Hills) war ein russischer Pianist, Komponist und Dirigent.
Sergei Rachmaninow war das vierte von insgesamt sechs Kindern aus der Ehe des Wassili Arkadjewitsch Rachmaninow und seiner Frau Ljubow Petrowna Butakowa. Die Ehefrau brachte Vermögen in Form von fünf Landgütern in die Ehe ein. Dem Vater, einem gutmütigen und geselligen Phantasten, fehlte jedoch jedes ökonomische Verständnis für eine Bewirtschaftung. Innerhalb von zehn Jahren führte er die Betriebe in den Ruin. Geldsorgen belasteten die Ehe schwer. Als 1882 auch das letzte Gut Oneg aufgegeben werden musste, zog die Familie nach Sankt Petersburg, wo sich die Eltern schließlich endgültig trennten. (read the complete article at Wikipedia)
