Nathalie Matthys plays an Étude Tableau by the great Sergei Rachmaninoff, Op. 39, no. 5 in E flat minor. The famous Russian composer produced many astonishing works of piano music, so I was astounded to hear from his own recollections that he once forgot how to play part of his work in concert, leaving the audience in consternation. (This documentary here contains the reference, and is enjoyable).
