    That is absolutely brilliant! :D Finally, a clip I found online that I can share and enjoy with my father (he's a composer of the old, grumpy sort)

    :)

    Miss C, that's so awesome! By far, that's my favorite Rach Prelude to play. Maybe I have slightly larger hands than that pianist (as I don't need wooden helpers, lol), but some of those chords are basically impossible. You should see the music - it shows 4 staffs at the same time because his fingers could span almost the entire way from high c to low c, and he wrote music accordingly.
