First Movement: Moderato, C minor, Alla breve (2/2 time), Sonata form

A solemn chord played by the piano for eight measures, followed by arpeggiated chords and arpeggios, leads to the overwhelming first theme presented by the orchestra. It captivates the listener with its immense impact. The second theme in E-flat major is characteristic of Rachmaninoff, possessing a sentimental and profoundly sweet charm.
