He pretty much gave up conducting at the end of his life, and composed little as well in his later life. He never stopped playing the piano though! Rachmaninov is probably most well known in terms of compositions for his 4 piano concertos, 3 symphonies (especially 2), Rhapsody on a Theme of Paganini, Preludes for Solo Piano (especially the G Minor, C Sharp Minor and B Flat Major ones) and his Symphonic Dances.
