Notes:

This song is the 10th from a collection of 15 Romances composed by Sergei Rachmaninov in 1910. They were dedicated to Arkady Kerzin (1856–1914) and Mariya Kerzina (1864–1926). By then he was a mature artist and composer, having already completed the 2nd Symphony, the Cello Sonata, and many solo piano etudes, preludes, etc.

The song “Before my Window” has been arranged by David Johnstone for Cello Quartet – four solo cellos, not being particularly suitable for performance by large cello ensembles or cello orchestra. The vocal line has been entrusted to Cello 1, but all parts are absolutely essential and interesting!
