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

It is very beautiful and so full of different emotions.

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. 😊
