Rock III

The Rachmaninoff third piano concerto – amazing. Fingers dancing over the keys like centipedes. An astonishing pianist sits almost completely still, arms at right angles, shoulders relaxed, fingers at a thousand miles a second. The few junctions when emphasis is called for the pianist’s entire body plays the notes, or a hand flies backwards off the keys. Such economy of movement, such amazing speed, such perfect sound.
