I studied classical piano in college too! I always have Arabesque No. 1 by Debussy stuck in my muscle memory -- first thing that comes out when I get to the bench! Do you have a go to piece?

Rachmaninoff has always been my guilty pleasure. I spent two years learning the Revolutionary Etude when I was ~12, and I find myself compulsively fingering those long descending sequences when stressed. It's like a nervous tic.

YES!!! Everything c minor please. That one's so much fun but my fingers definitely aren't in shape for it anymore!
it's actually really depressing to play ... what comes out of my fingers doesn't sound anything like i remember it sounding 🤔
