"It's called the 'Rach 2' because it's one of the most romantic pieces..." I think it's called the 'Rach 2' because it's the 2nd Piano Concerto by Rachmaninov

[@usurpationofmusic4596]

i think hes saying its well known BECAUSE its one of the most romantic pieces

If you like romantic type of piano concertos I would recommend you Moskovsky’s piano concerto no.1, Bortievickz piano concerto 1 and 3, Medtner’s 1st and 3rd piano concerto’s and piano concertos from Arensky, Henslet, and other less known but yet magnificent romantic composers.

[@quynhhanle7905]

"All by myself" was inspired by this wonderful piece

[@adamsmateo2149]

Yeah. And the coda section of the song was actually composed by Rach himself.

[@diamondjim7560]

Yes and Eric Carmen had to share royalties with the Rachmaninov Estate for that beautiful piece as well as another one, Never Gonna Fall in Love from Rachmaninov’s Symphony #2. He thought the copyrights expired by the time he wrote both pieces. It did, in the US but not the UK. They worked it out eventually with the Estate getting 12%. If you are going to produce beautiful love ballads, being inspired by Sergei Rachmaninov is a pretty good place to start. Sadly Eric passed away recently.

[@BernaiseSaucey]

Oh no wonder i hear all by myself in this piece

Ah tchaik 1... Named that because it is one of the most sublime and virtuosic pieces of all time

[@vincentb5431]

Imagine you're sitting, talking, and laughing with someone. For some reason talking to this person feels different than talking to everyone else. You can talk for hours about anything and it feels like no time has passed at all. You feel safe around this person. You feel at home. You look at them, and then, for a very brief moment, you realize that you have fallen in love. That is how I would describe this part of the piece.

[@stephendavidbailey2743]

It is impossible for me to hear this without bursting into tears. This was the music used throughout the all time greatest tearjerker movie: Brief Encounter.

[@shellyyy3945]

[@lavendardust]

Oh wow, when you started playing your piano, I got goose bumps. Your piano playing is so beautiful.

[@xuicy9743]

A while ago I started learning this piece to eventually play to my girlfriend on valentine’s day because she loved to hear me play. I injured my finger but had a splint just so i could try to keep it up and learn the piece before. I spent about 1 month getting it down and perfecting it but when It was just about time to play it for her in person. She left me and broke up and that was the breaking point of my love for piano I didn’t want to touch or even play that piece anymore. It was left to rot and ever since i’ve stopped playing piano but I’ve been healing and i’m fully healed now but it hurts to think about this song but it is such a beautiful song props to Rachmaninoff. If anyone is reading this i hope you have a wonderful morning, or night and don’t take anything for granted. I wish the best for all.

It's called the Rach 2 because it's Rachmaninoff's seconds piano concerto not because it's romantic

[@ScottWarner86]

The word “Rach” means romantic in Russian. And the 2 is because this is the second movement. Hence Rach 2. “ROMANTIC SECOND”

[@jojomj]

"Seconds"? Factory damaged?

[@juliannaversola]

I encourage everyone to listen to this entire concerto to really appreciate this one passage since there are so many other passages of pure beauty in this piece, especially all of Rachmaninoff’s other concertos. His harmonies are truly unique. The creator mentions sublime and I have a really good recommendation for anyone who wants to hear a truly sublime piece that brings me to tears everytime and isn’t as popular as Rach 2; Liszt’s Bénédiction de Dieu dans la solitude. It’s an absolutely breathtaking piece of music.

[@TheGioz94]

I never thought it was romantic, but definitely the second movement of Rachmaninov Piano Concerto No. 2 is a sublime piece of music, with the flaute introducing the theme, a majestic use of strings and the piano entering and developing the story. And wow, the main theme of the Adagio is something special: so delicate and giving an intense feeling of sweet sadness, which is what characterize life itself for many: a tragedy lived with joy. This concerto was composed by Rachmaninov as the first pice after a long period of lack of creativity in which he had depression. The Adagio clearly reflects his pain during this period, but you can sense that it is a pain he was able to process and turn into one of the best classical music compositions of all time.

I believe that this is not only the most beautiful passage from Rachmaninov, but also the most beautiful, heartfelt music from all the classics. Even Chopin didn’t always do it this way!

No. Rachmaninov is much more about desire. The desire for love, not actually falling in love. Listen to the full concerto, and you will hear arguments, discourse between the orchestra and the pianist. What are they arguing about? Love, the journey to find it, and how deeply well the pianist once it.

Very passionate music. That is I believe the last movement of the three movements.
