Rachmaninoff seems to do well on the romance front!

In the last movement - Allegro Schernando - the melodic theme (which has been adopted for the lyric title "Full Moon And Empty Arms") between strings and piano is so romantic!! When it returns in full orchestration with piano towards the end it just encapsulates the whole soulful human experience. And of course, I get lost in the 2nd movement, Adagio sostenuto, where it takes me for the most part to a place of reflection and solitude sitting by a gently flowing river.
