Does anyone know what inspired Rachmaninov to write his 2nd symphony?

The story is that he wrote it after recovering from a deep depression and even dedicated it to his doctor. It is quite lovely. The Adagio sostenuto is one of the most beautiful pieces of music ever written, imo. 😊

he was just obsessive and when he got in a creative bounce... he rolled with it.


you can watch him in action via the rca theater ( i still believe? ) on youtube.

:D

did you know that eric carmen's 'all by myself' rips a little of rach in the piano solo?

According to Wikipedia, it was written after his successful treatment and recovery from writer's block and depression.

No, but I'd like to.

He had his first blow job

He was in love.
