Sergei Rachmaninoff (1 April [O.S. 20 March] 1873 – 28 March 1943) was, of course, one of the greatest pianists of his time, and remains one of the most beloved of all composers.  



 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Different Strokes


For some, the concertos he wrote

Are clearly the work of the G.O.A.T.,

While other would say

They could listen all day

And hear nothing but bustle and bloat.
