Thanks! I sent the video to my mom, who used to teach piano (and taught me to play).

It brings back memories of my drunken, Ukrainian piano teacher growing up. He had a fondness for Rachmaninov and any other composer who produced the gloomiest, suicide inducing music. Did I mention that he lived in our basement? Good times. Good times.

Heh, nice. I adore that crazy bastard Rachmaninov (probably for the same reasons as pierres)

Sergei Rachmaninov
wrote his concertos for
handspans like wings.
Few realistically
can pianistically
digitalistically
play the damned things.
