help name this piece

If anyone can tell me the name of this piece and if there is sheet music for it would be of great help. All I know is that there is a part that resembles the 18th variations by rachmaninoff.

You might have better luck than me on musipedia. You're right that there's a part that ressembles Rachmaninoffs ( in fact its most likely exactly the same, it seems to be a simple rip from that part from his rhapsody on a theme by paganini (Im guessing the 18th variation is that one)).

Nice piece.  I don't know who's it is, but there is also a fragment from Chopin's Scherzo no.3  that begins at 6:28

Joel brings up a good point which leads me to believe the whole composition is an amalgam of various romantic compositions based around Rach's 18th var of course.  I heard Rach's PC2 mvmt. 2 cadenza at the very end (8:09) as well as his g minor prelude (around 6:50).  The runs around 2:10 and 5:40 is a pull from similar runs in Liszt's Rigoletto Paraphrase.
