I played this in the UMass symphony orchestra freshman or sophomore year. Made me a lifelong fan of Rachmaninoff.

[@JonathanGeffnerPianist]

It's a wonderful symphony.

[@toddfarkas1231]

Awesome performance, Jonathan! It’s a great transcription, who did it?

[@JonathanGeffnerPianist]

Thank you! Sean Chen transcribed it. I credited him in the description. He transcribed the whole Adagio movement; I just played the opening part here.

@@JonathanGeffnerPianist thanks, this was awesome 👏🏻

I've just seen your short of Harpo Marx playing Chopin. Interestingly Harpo and Rachmaninoff were neighbours at one time - but only for a short while 😂

[@JonathanGeffnerPianist]

Yes, Harpo tells about that in his autobiography, "Harpo Speaks!" He said that he complained about his neighbor's annoying piano practicing and found out it was Rachmaninoff.
