Last Saturday I performed in a house concert with some musicians from Austin and other areas of the country. My small role involved the Valse and Romance for 6 hands (!) at one piano by Rachmaninoff. Here is some rare Youtube footage of Martha Argerich playing the same part I did in the Romance. Its the easiest part note-wise, but it involves the most diplomacy. Hopefully I will find some friends to record both pieces for you soon.
The Valse and Romance? The beginning is very close to the intro piano part for the 2nd movement of Rach's 2nd Piano Concerto. It's strangely similar...

When I listen to Rach's music I notice that he wrote many similar pieces, sometimes he eve reuses a melody patterns, don't you think?
