Rach 3rd concerto was in Shine. Presumably a really difficult song to play. Rach had huge hands, probably helped. Your theme is Rach's 2nd concerto, which is my fave. Featured in Ayn Rand's Atlas Shrugged (I think it was Dagny who was enthralled with it, but I'm sure it started with the author Ayn who was russian). That's where I first read about it. Been hooked since.
[edit: woops, it was Rand's The Fountainhead, an arguably better book for those who read such]
More, thanks, Andrew. Now I want to look up Rach's hands, lol. Explains, from a total outsider's almost-zero perspective. (By the way, Rush, that performance - my god. I'd not seen him before. And his young self, and the dad, whom I've seen in many things). I've actually not read too much Rand, just an essay on art, somewhere. I'll grab and read, would be good for me.
One thing I didn't mention, outside of Mozart (esp. zany, late Mozart), Tchaikovsky, a couple Berlioz (used Marche Au Supplice to open my own Hamlet in a production. I played the Dane. Not recommended to try both.), and Beethoven, I'm pretty mad about the nationalist romantics. Smetana's "Of Bohemian Fields and Forests" is one of those instant transporters for me. Dvorak, Grieg, Sibelius, (Smetana), Bartok. Love them. Oh, Aaron Copland of course. There is no way I can listen to "Fanfare for the Common Man" without swelling with a love of being American, though I want to pull the straps of some overalls and put on the crumpled, dusty hat on the way out to the fields, lol.
Okiedog, I apologize for taking this way off topic. I just have an envy of Andrew. Always wanted to learn the piano but other things got in the way. Most I got was a good enough gypsy swing rhythm guy that I founded a group here and otherwise gigged here and in Milwaukee with various bands needing a, well, gypsy swing rhythm guy for the night or two.
