That's the price you pay for being moderate in everything. See, if I were you, my name would be Ilovepie. But that's just me.

Got to go with # 3 on this one. It encompasses all the emotion in the others in one concerto. But they are all masterpieces. Rachmaninoff is one of the few composers I think I know that I don't DISLIKE any thing they wrote.

The 3rd is my favorite as well. The first is a wonderfully enthusiastic work, and the 2nd, for all its playing, is also a fine piece. Its musical material is continually of very high value. It's more awkward than the third, but doesn't make the same incredible demands.

I've never liked the fourth much.

I might play the first this coming year.
