some pages almost look like some careless scribbles, but when you hear whats written, its incredibly beautiful....this music deserves more performances.
This is one of favorite compositions. And it was composed with the only tool available at that time namely the composer's AI which at that time meant ARTISTIC INTELIGENCE.
The story, the lyrics are not really Spring-like. Check this out, it is about a guy forgiving his unfaithful wife in Spring. Oddly, (weird) Rachmaninov wrote this around his own wedding.

@ghuinink -- Yes, it's rather rare, I think............BRAVI TUTTI from Acapulco!
12:05 feels so quintessentially Rachmaninoff. And the buildup from around 14:28 to the fake plagal cadence is outstanding too.

Amazing! In Rachmaninoff's hand, Thank you!
Beautiful
It is definitely the romanticism of Rachmaninoff though It Might As Well Be Spring...

@@vicb4901 I took it literal. Writing about an unfaithful wife while getting married yourself is kind of odd isn't it?
