"Full Moon and Empty Arms".

OK, boys and girls, more pop songs based on the classics: Tin Pan Alley composers Ted Mossman and Buddy Kaye wrote this 1945 ballad based upon the third movement (allegro scherzando) of Rachmaninoff's Piano Concerto No. 2 in C-minor, Op. 18. Popularized that same year by Frank Sinatra. Beautiful rendition by the Platters. Answer: "Full Moon and Empty Arms". In my book, Rachmaninoff's Piano Concerto No.2 is one of the most beautiful pieces of music ever written. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=dKsdCtsRczY https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=znlSaWdlxk0
