Sergei Vasilievich Rachmaninoff was a famed Russian piano composer, whose primary goal in life was to make piano players really fucking pissed off by making his music as unplayable as humanly possible. He claimed to be a pianist himself, but all he must have played was some easy shit like "Chopsticks" or "Mary had a Little Lamb". Seriously, if he had any actual knowledge of playing piano, he would have arranged his music in a way that was actually readable, as opposed to the messes he composed. Either that or he was on shrooms when he wrote them. Or both.

  • Sergei Vasilievich Rachmaninoff (1873–1943) was a Russian composer, pianist, and conductor. Influenced by Tchaikovsky and other Russian composers, the piano figures prominently in his original compositions. Lang Lang plays Rachamninoff's "Rhapsody on a Theme of Paganini" in Episode 4084 of Sesame Street in an audition for Oscar's Grouch Symphony Orchestra.
  • Josef Slavanski attended one of Rachmaninoff's last concerts in 1943. Josef was particularly moved when Rachmaninoff finished with 'Flight of the Bumble Bee'. Josef considers it the best piece of music he has ever heard.
