 A lot of notes, man...lot of notes.  I remember talking once with Kalichstein about the Brahms B-flat concerto..his conclusion was "Life's too short". haha

As I like to joke, Rachmaninoff should've just spilled a bottle of ink over the page with the cadenza - the notes are so densely packed, it wouldn't look any different.

I'm gonna start Rach 2 this summer, and that certainly seems hard enough.
