Thoughts on Rachmaninoff - Corelli Variations

[suethemoon]

Been thinking of learning this for a while...
Any thoughts/opinions?

Methinks you've got enough in your sig
In all seriousness, I don't care for them too much.

Here's Askenazy discussing the piece (part 2 is in related videos):

@Chopinlover: I suggest you give a chance to "late" Rach. Among the pieces he composed after his exile (which are amazingly few) only the Rhapsody on a Theme of Paganini gets due attention, precisely because it is the only one that resembles his more famous pieces in their unlimited outpouring of emotion.
Nevertheless, the other, more introspective, pieces are equally amazing in their own way. Of course, they might be somewhat harder to sink in, but are worth the effort.

Great piece. Worth learning
