Sérénade is an early work of Rachmaninoff, from a grouping of five short solo Piano pieces titled Morceau de Fantasie written in 1892 and dedicated to his harmony teacher Anton Arensky.

One of his most famous works, the Prélude in C-sharp minor is from this same Opus 3.

Opus 3, No. 5 in B-flat minor is the final work of the set and is in a gentle waltz style, sometimes venturing into the Dorian mode.

Rachmaninoff's lush harmonies and gorgeous melody work very well for the Horn with this fine arrangement by Ralph Sauer.

For advanced performers, this movement is about 5 minutes in length.
