謝爾蓋·瓦西里耶維奇·拉赫瑪尼諾夫（Sergei·Vassilievitch·Rachmaninoff，1873
年4月1日－1943年3月28
日）生於俄羅斯，是二十世紀世界重要的古典音樂作曲家、指揮家和鋼琴家。拉赫瑪尼諾夫畢業於莫斯科音樂學院,
他的創作中深受柴科夫斯基影響，有深厚的民族音樂基礎，旋律優美,
內容豐富。他的主要作品有第二、三鋼琴協奏曲、二十四首前奏曲、《升c 小調前奏曲》、鐘等。其中《升 c小調前奏曲》是在他19歲就發表了最深受人們讚賞的一部著作。
 拉赫瑪尼諾夫在遼闊的俄羅斯土地上出生的,
所以他的作品蘊含著很濃郁的俄羅斯民族風格。因此, 他的每一部音樂作品中都連綿不斷地滲透俄羅斯的民族特性。他的音樂里又有接近20世紀作曲家的許多現代元素。這兩種風格相融合成為其創作之
特徵。毋庸置疑，拉赫瑪尼諾夫在自己的創作生涯中不斷改變、完善著自己的風格，事實上每一位大師的風格都具有自己的演變過程，拉赫瑪尼諾夫也不例外。拉赫瑪尼諾夫音樂最吸引人的地方是他採用的基本要素是非常典型的俄羅斯民族風格。
  《升c 小調前奏曲》(Op.3No.2)是拉赫瑪尼諾夫從莫斯科音樂學院畢業之後
,於1892年完成的《幻想小品集》中第二首。在全集五首作品當中以《升 c
小調前奏曲》最為著名。
  在1892年的夏天,拉赫瑪尼諾夫的母親來探望他,
讓他的生活充滿了快樂的色彩。可不幸的是,當拉赫瑪尼諾夫想創作一部新歌劇時,他卻得了一場大病,
消耗了他很多精力,無法投入新歌劇當中。後來直到拉赫瑪尼諾夫痊癒.
在畢業之後, 他馬上投入到繁忙的音樂會演出之中。期間，他便完成自己一生最具有重大意義的作品《升c 小調前奏曲》,而這首作品成為了拉赫瑪尼諾夫早期最具有代表性的作品之一.
“鐘聲”般的音響在拉赫瑪尼諾夫的前奏曲作品中具有特殊的意義。由於拉赫瑪尼諾夫很小就陪著外祖母上教堂做禮拜，唱詩班的歌聲和教堂的鐘聲在他的腦海裡留下深刻的記憶，在他的鋼琴音樂中，時常帶有一種鐘聲鳴響的音響特質。《升c小調前奏曲》Op32-2貫穿於全曲的主導動機及不斷變化著的平行和弦副動機，代表著克里姆林宮大小不同的鐘聲，同時也隱約預示著一個飽受命運折磨、行將死去的靈魂被鐘聲驚醒。這也是作者經常在作品中有機、有效的創造和運用的“心理鐘聲”。較之於借助外力的自然鐘聲，這樣的技巧更說明作者的內心聽覺與和聲感覺。評論家們常說：一個偉大的作曲家最顯著的待點就是他的音樂在頭幾小節就能辨別出來。用這個標準來衡量拉赫瑪尼諾夫，他絕對是名符其實的。人們絕不會把他的任何一部作品誤認為是其它俄羅斯作曲家的作品。我們的聽覺告訴我們自己，拉赫瑪尼諾夫在音樂史上的地位如此穩固，全因為他賦予音樂的生命與個性。
