Rachmaninov's Piano Concerto Number Three

Rachmaninov's Piano Concerto Number Three in D minor, Op. 30 by Sergei Rachmaninoff is famous for its technical and musical demands on the performer. It has the reputation of being one of the most difficult concertos in the standard piano repertoire. Catherine Halsey apparently enjoyed the piece, as she asked Toran to play it during her trip to Eridanus II in August 2517.
