And yes, Liszt is more concise, but remember, Rachmaninoff was a virtuoso pianist, so it is natural that he is more specific and thus verbose

Ok, thank you.
My piano teacher also recommended that it was also regarded how you played it; staying closer to the keyboard."

Very helpful, I appreciate it
