"Daisies, Op. 38/3" is a solo piano piece composed by Sergey Rachmaninov in 1893. It is the third movement of his "Six Songs, Op. 38," which were originally composed for voice and piano. The piece was later transcribed for solo piano by the composer himself. The premiere of "Daisies" as a solo piano piece was in 1894, performed by Rachmaninov himself. The piece is characterized by its delicate and lyrical melody, which is accompanied by a flowing and intricate piano accompaniment. The piece is in the key of G major and has a moderate tempo. The piece is divided into three sections, with the first section featuring the main melody played by the right hand while the left hand provides a gentle accompaniment. The second section features a more complex and virtuosic piano accompaniment, with the melody moving between the hands. The final section returns to the simplicity of the opening, with the melody played once again by the right hand and the left hand providing a gentle accompaniment. "Daisies" is a beautiful and expressive piece that showcases Rachmaninov's skill as a composer and pianist. It is a popular choice for pianists and has been recorded by many notable performers. The piece is often used in film and television as a background music, and its popularity has ensured its place as one of Rachmaninov's most beloved compositions.
