Rachmaninoff cant even play his OWN PIECE!!

While Rachmaninoff did enjoy a lot of success from his C# minor prelude, it’s rather unfortunate that he didn’t have the work copyrighted. He sold this prelude to his publisher for about a day’s wages worth, and ultimately missed out on an enormous profit. Some say that this work alone would’ve netted him ~$100,000 in profit!! Such was the magnitude of its popularity. Sylvester, Richard D.. Rachmaninoff's Complete Songs: A Companion with Texts and Translations. United States, Indiana University Press, 2014.
