A very happy birthday to Sergei Rachmaninov - 1873; and to Sviatoslav Richter (1915). Those who turn up their delicate noses at Rachmaninov's music are depriving themselves of a huge joy: uniquely stirring, magnificently constructed, utterly sincere - his music is a miracle.

Not hearing the Mozart connection...what bar/section of K475?!

The melodic curve of the opening theme of K475 is perhaps easiest to recognize in the subordinate theme of the first movement of Rachmaninov's Op. 30 (and in the statement of the principal theme in its ossia cadenza.) But it is everywhere, once you start to look for it.
