Piano Concerto No.2, Mvt.2 // RACHMANINOFF

The Piano Concerto No. 2 in C minor, Op. 18, is a concerto for piano and orchestra composed by Sergei Rachmaninoff between the autumn of 1900 and April 1901. The second and third movements were first performed with the composer as soloist on 2 December 1900. The complete work was premiered, again with the composer as soloist, on 9 November 1901, with his cousin Alexander Siloti conducting.
This piece is one of Rachmaninoff's most enduringly popular pieces, and established his fame as a concerto composer.
At its 1897 premiere, Rachmaninoff's first symphony, though now considered a significant achievement, was derided by contemporary critics. Compounded by problems in his personal life, Rachmaninoff fell into a depression that lasted for several years. His second piano concerto confirmed his recovery from clinical depression and writer's block, cured by courses of hypnotherapy and psychotherapy and helped by support from his family and friends. The concerto was dedicated to Nikolai Dahl, the physician who had done much to restore Rachmaninoff's self-confidence.
The second movement opens with a series of slow chords in the strings which modulate from the C minor of the previous movement to the E major of this movement.
At the beginning of the A section, the piano enters, playing a simple arpeggiated figure. This opening piano figure was composed in 1891 as the opening of the Romance from Two Pieces For Six Hands. The main theme is initially introduced by the flute, before being developed by an extensive clarinet solo. The motif is passed between the piano and then the strings.
Then the B section is heard. It builds up to a short climax centred on the piano, which leads to cadenza for piano.
The original theme is repeated, and the music appears to die away, finishing with just the soloist in E major.

Its the computer's fault, its glitchy, ive seen lots of popular channel synthesias with these problems

[@OldRaver]

Can you do a much slowed down version for beginners?
This is my dad’s favourite and he could play all the parts of the orchestra in a version he put together (AMAZING pianist, played by ear... ❤️)
This is now on my bucket list, I’d LOVE to master at least the basic elements to play at his memorial as a surprise in April (Go big or go home!!)
I’m like dad, play guitar by ear (struggle with music, better at memorising!)
I can follow this format, just need it slow mo!!

This recording is omitting the orchestra accompaniment and is mis-titled as the concerto
which it isn't but only a fraction of the concerto

[@GM-yb5yg]

We're all here to hear the piano solo. You must be lost.

[@roygbiv2146]

Then it should be clearly stated r in your title that the orchestral accompaniment is missing..
