Disappointing

I do not see in the description any indication that this is an arrangement, and not even in the original key. Not worth the price.

18TH VARIATION THEME OF PAGANINI OP.43

GREAT FOR LATER BEGINNERS. WOULD HAVE LOVED TO HAVE THE ARRANGEMENT IN EITHER B FLAT OR A FLAT FOR PERSONAL CHOICE.

Only 2 Pages!

I tried 4 different versions of this rhapsody before choosing the Hare arrangement. I wanted something somewhat easy, yet full sounding and beautiful. 5 stars for the music. The description stated that it is 4 pages, it is only 2, so minus 1 star for inaccurate description, also subtract one...

A bland arrangement

After getting this arrangement and finding it is written in C-major, and playing it, it sounded very bland. I then found a 'real' version by Rachmaninoff himself in D-flat that was more difficult but more rewarding too.

Delightful!

Easy enough to just sit down and play, but complex enough to sound enchanting!
