I believe it was Rachmaninoff piano concerto 2 or 3. I was 11 or 12 at the time, so I could be wrong 🙂.

He was a local boy. TCU always gets decked out when the Cliburn competition is on. It was our time to shine. 🙂
Rest in peace Mr. Cliburn.

There is one less old wrinkled pianist in the world.
There is a pianist shaped hole in all of us now.

Actually, it was both according to my mother - I asked her about it last night. She recalls that he played a mixture of Rachmaninoff and Chopin.
