Sergei Rachmaninov was the subject of criticism because he remained stylistically faithful to 19th-century music yet lived in the 20th century. Despite everything, he had also become a man of the new century, enthusiastic about cars, motorboats and airplanes. In his Symphonic Dances, Rachmaninov, who emigrated to America, allowed a breath of that modern luxury to combine with rich romanticism.
