This is hysterical! As a pianist myself, I can identify with the issue of Rachmaninoff's LARGE chords. That particular prelude has really big chords that require all 10 fingers and sometimes 11 keys. ????? What was he thinking when he wrote this?! He was obviously not considering the normal sized hand for performance. This is a very funny and ingenious solution to that problem.
Is this the same pianist who recorded Billy Joel's Fantasies and Dilusions?
