This movie really made me think about Rachmaninov Piano Concerto No. 3.
Is it really so difficult to play? Is it really that much of a mountain to climb? Would just the effort to play it cause a breakdown like it did for Geoffrey Rush’s character is the film?

Since the piece is far too difficult for me to play, I just listened to it instead. In fact, I’m listening to it now. It sounds nice. No breakdowns yet. That’s good. I made it through the whole thing! But just to be safe, I think I’ll move on to something else.
