Gehl B.M., St. Olaf College, 1983 M.A., University of Minnesota, 1990 Advisor: bruce d. mcclung, Ph.D. ABSTRACT A successful composer and conductor, Sergei Rachmaninoff (1873–1943) fled Russia at the time of the Bolshevik Revolution never to return. Rachmaninoff, at the age of forty-four, transformed himself by necessity into a concert pianist and toured America for a quarter of a century from 1918 until his death in 1943, becoming one of the greatest pianists of the day. Despite Rachmaninoff‘s immense talents, musicologists have largely dismissed him as a touring virtuoso and conservative, part-time composer. Rather than using mid-twentieth-century paradigms that classify Rachmaninoff as a minor, post-Romantic, figure, a recent revisionist approach would classify Rachmaninoff as an innovator. As one of the first major performer-composers in America to embrace recording and reproducing technology, along with the permanence and repetition it offered, Rachmaninoff successfully utilized mass media for twenty-five years. Already regarded as a conductor and composer of appealing music, Rachmaninoff extended his fame by recording and performing his own works, and those of others.

The Petroushka Ball began 55 years ago, in 1965 at the Delmonico Hotel. At that time, it was just a dance, no dinner was served, but we did have a live orchestra. Word got around to the Russian community and, at $8.00 a ticket, we became the most popular party in New York. That first Ball was very crowded – the hotel had to keep adding tables to the dance floor and the floor became the size of a postage stamp. The very next year we moved to the Plaza Hotel and dinner, which was a hotel requirement. That is also when we introduced entertainment; and what entertainment we’ve had and still do have! Stars from the Metropolitan Opera, the Ballet, pianists, not to mention the outstanding Russian musicians. These many years have seen generations of guests enjoying themselves on the dance floor – parents and grandparents, myself included.
