I think Rachaminoff music probably concealment for real truth about spy activities he was hired probably by German government to spy on America intelligence during WWII from various sources I have information such as & Wikipedia you can decipher great deal from they ' re poasts I think this is something not be overlooked & ignored I well & you can see this is his music is very reflectant of dark and secretive . There are many accounts of his persona being fake his name not truly " Sergei Rachmaninoff " but truly is " Albrecht Rudolf Müller " a known spy during the WWII who went under alias " Alfonzo " to conceal his truly identify as the Russian composer & get information from secret service to assassinate Hitler first before American can win war & get all credit due to tension between the countries & competing for stature I find theory particular to say the least & rather fascinating if true his music wasn ' t made by him rather produce by German insiders .

Whew! Don't know if English is your primary language, but I suspect whatever language is your first, it does have punctuation available. You might try it: it helps readers.
Thanks

Now that is really interesting. So you're saying is he didn't compose his works himself? But he did play the piano, or was that also a German substitute?
I hope you will not be offended if I don't believe a single word of your post...

LOL! Maybe not Rachmaninoff, but I came across this story recently: Stalin's Singing Spy For those of you who have never heard the recording SR made with Nadezhda Plevitskaya it is very interesting. Check it out here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=99HNCfVx4xA

Joel, while you are investigating Rach's career as a spy, add his career as a circus performer when you write his biography. It should be a New York Times bestseller http://kosu.org/post/new-research-reveals-rachmaninoffs-secret-career#stream/0

Can you point to some sources for this idea? I get five hits when I google "Albrecht Rudolf Müller" and the first hit is this thread.

He was too tall to be a spy, but he may have played professional basketball.

Joel: Was your account hacked? The Joel that we know doesn't write like that. (Nor, need I say, think like that.)  If it's not hackage (good word)  then either he copy/pasted it from somewhere as an example of stupidity, or else he's goofing on us.

I can't find the word "spy" in the Wikipedia article on Rachmaninoff. But I suppose Rachaminoff might have been a spy.

I think I should keep discussion back on track please. Thanks. If someone could enlighten me about what is 'on track', I might... well never mind. The signal to noise ratio on PW is almost amusing at times.

I think Rachaminoff music probably concealment for real truth about spy activities he was hired probably by German government to spy on America intelligence during WWII from various sources I have information such as & Wikipedia you can decipher great deal from they ' re poasts I think this is something not be overlooked & ignored I well & you can see this is his music is very reflectant of dark and secretive . There are many accounts of his persona being fake his name not truly " Sergei Rachmaninoff " but truly is " Albrecht Rudolf Müller " a known spy during the WWII who went under alias " Alfonzo " to conceal his truly identify as the Russian composer & get information from secret service to assassinate Hitler first before American can win war & get all credit due to tension between the countries & competing for stature I find theory particular to say the least & rather fascinating if true his music wasn ' t made by him rather produce by German insiders . Rachmaninoff was born in 1873 and died in 1943 near age 70.

Or perhaps the OP really meant Boris "Rachaminoff" (friend of Natasha) and evil nemesis of Peobody?
