🎹 for fun:

An F♯ minor theme from Rachmaninoff Piano Concerto No. 1, I. Vivace

I like multiple melodic lines that weave together, as if in a dialogue. In this theme, the orchestra accompaniment first echos the melody of the piano, and then the orchestra takes the lead, with the piano answering the orchestra.

A B♭ major theme from Rachmaninoff Piano Concerto No. 2, III. Allegro scherzando

The same melody is first played by the orchestra, then repeated by the piano.

An A major theme from Rachmaninoff Symphony No. 2, III. Adagio (piano arr. Nicolas Namoradze)

(2-against-3 polyrhythms)+(intertwining melodic lines)=(instant heart-melt🥹)

Fun stuff that you can do with your coauthor other than research
