Rachmaninoff Piano Concerto No. 3, 3rd movement (Part 1/2)

YEEEEEESSSSSSSS finally I did it! It has always been my dream to play the whole 3rd piano concerto by Rachmaninoff. This has been the most difficult movement of the concerto in terms of everything: memorizing, technique, extremely fast octaves changes (especially the last 3-4 minutes of the movement) and last but not least: insanely many notes to play:) But after I've learned the whole concerto I have to say, that I love this piece more and more for everytime I play it.

Rach 3 was performed for the first time for 100 years ago (November 28th 1909), so this is a tribute to Rachmaninoff! Like the previous movements of Rach 3 here is a description for the concerto for those who are not familiar to Rach 3 (from wikipedia):

The Piano Concerto No. 3 in D minor, Op. 30 by Sergei Rachmaninoff (colloquially known as "Rach 3") is famous for its technical and musical demands on the performer. It has the reputation of being one of the most difficult concertos in the standard piano repertoire.

3rd movement: Finale: Alla breve (D minor → D major)
The third movement is quick and vigorous and contains variations on many of the themes that are used in the first movement, which unites the whole concerto cyclically. However, after the first and second themes it diverges from the regular sonata-allegro form. There is no conventional development; that segment is replaced by a lengthy digression using the major key of the third movement's first theme, which then leads to the two themes from the first movement. After the digression, the movement recapitulation returns to the original themes, building up to a toccata climax somewhat similar but lighter than the first movement ossia cadenza. The last movement is concluded with a triumphant and passionate second theme melody in D major. The piece ends with the same four-note rhythm claimed by some to be the composer's musical signature[citation needed] as the composer's second concerto.
The third movement follows the second without pause.

For those viewers who have been waiting for the third movement, I apology for the long waiting time. I only play piano as my hobby so have not been able to practice to often. Anyway, you are more than welcome to make comments, thanks!
