I heard bits of this on the radio when driving, so I need to hear the whole thing. 
 

 

 

Good luck playing his piano parts, eh??!

 

Quote

Rachmaninoff's hands were so large that he could easily reach 13 notes on the piano, while also playing notes in between with his 2nd, 3rd, and 4th fingers. The size and slenderness of his hands may have been a manifestation of Marfan's syndrome, which is characterized by arachnodactyly.

Just had a chance to hear this this morning!  Thought it would have piano, but I was wrong!  Very nice regardless!

I like his early compositions like this one, dark and moody.

Later, he got too bright and commercial for me. I can't blame him, I play pop music instead of jazz for a living, because I want to eat and pay the mortgage.
