Art plays the bad role in the depression questions: art makes depression beautiful — the suffering, the pain (and suicide eventually — especially in music). Which is not true. All that is quite ugly.

That's why I'm writing another piece about Rachmaninov's 2nd concerto
@fyodorio so I have now written the piece about Rachmaninov drawing himself back from depression with music, inspiring me to do the same
I doubt I will translate it though, but in case automatic translators work nowdays, the piece is here
La musique qui me sort de la dépression
Concerto No 2 pour piano en DOm - Sergeï Rachmaninov - K. Zimerman
