I know there's one nut out there who arranged things like busoni piano concerto and Tchaikovsky piano trios for piano solo, he's also done rachmaninov 2nd. He's not the only one that did 2 either. So it's not uncommon. On imslp there's an arrangement of the mvt 1 for piano solo, but not 2. I think arranging the mvt 3 for solo would be equally easy as mvt 1 but 2 seems time consuming. Thanks

Here's the Grainger solo version of the 2nd concerto 3rd movement—it's not the whole thing but he gets the essence of it.



Here's the entire Rachmaninov 3rd concerto, the Falzone solo version.



Sadly, Falzone committed suicide at the age of 29...
