@scarlett24ca I'm not a brilliant pianist, but I can all apart from the section with a Tristan and Isolde imitation (1:20) till near the end of the section (2:00). Ragtime can be deceptively easy.

the dynamic range does not show up on a recording of this quality. Even on home videos with modern cameras the range doesn't come off well. I have heard other recordings by Rachmaninoff where you can tell the piano is making a huge sound because of the way the piano sounds (it's kind of a sort of clanging but hopefully you know what I mean) but the recording only shows the same mf of the rest of the performance. I think it was the funeral march.

I like Rachmaninoff's playing more than Debussy's! :-)
