Sonata no 1.

Solo piano, I'd have to agree, although favorite Rachmaninoff piece overall featuring a piano? PC 3, no doubt. It is, in my opinion, the most brilliant and powerful piece of music ever written. I have to stop myself from listening to it more than once a month (or less, ideally) so I don't get sick of it. As much as I'd like to one day play it, I also think I might grow to hate it from the hours and hours and hours of practicing it would take to perfect.

Nice choice!

I like the Variations on a theme by Corelli
