Geocache Description:


This is #3 in the MS6 Puzzler Series. As with the others, the cache is NOT at the listed coordinates. Instead, you must determine the coordinates from the cache description somehow. The cache itself is a small lock-&-lock that can hold small trade items and TB's/geocoins. It is stocked with a few items to start with, as well as a geocoin. In addition, a clue to the finale is inside, as well.

One of the greatest composers of the 20th century was Sergei Rachmaninoff. Some of his compositions are the most complex recordings of all time. Capable of beautiful romantic rhythms, as well as dense, ultra heavy pieces, Rachmaninoff was a prolific yet varied composer. While impossible to select just a handful of his pieces for a "best of," here are a list of compositions that no discussion of Rachmaninoff should be without. Truly masterworks, all of them.

Vocalise in C# minor
Op.16 no.3, Andante Cantabile in B Minor
Morceaux de Salon No. 6 Romance in F minor
Morceaux de Fantaisie No. 3, Mélodie in E major
Moment Musicaux No. 2 Allegretto in E-flat minor & Prelude No. 9 in A major
Rhapsody on a Theme of Paganini in A minor
Prelude Op. 23, No. 5 in G minor
Études-Tableaux No. 2 in C major
Trio élégiaque No. 2 in C# major
Mélodie opus 3 no 3, in E Major & Prelude Op. 3, No. 2 in C-Sharp minor
Flight of the Bumblebee, arrangement, in A minor
Piano Concerto No. 2 in C minor & Prelude Op. 32, No. 11 in B major
Etude-tableau Op. 39, No. 9 in D Major
Piano Concerto No. 3 in D minor
Prelude Op. 23 No. 8 in A flat major

His Piano Concerto No. 3 was made famous in the modern era through the movie, Shine. I highly recommend that movie, as well as checking out some of the above pieces. You may very well discover something you didn't realize you liked! Enjoy!
