Summary/Abstract: Seeing that until recently the research devoted to various musical compositions focused mainly on their formal-structural features, lately, compared interpretations have become both a necessity and a goal for instrument players, singers, and conductors alike. In this paper I chose to consider contrastively two exceptional interpretations of Sergei Rachmaninoff’s Symphonic Dances for Two Pianos Op. 45, i.e. the performances by the pianist duos made up by, on the one hand, Vladimir Ashkenazy and André Previn, and, on the other, Martha Argerich and Alexandre Rabinovich.
