Of course loved Carmen “stealing” the melody from Rachmaninoff and he wrote a Rachmaninoff like instrumental middle section in the long version of the song.

Manilow basically did the same thing on "Could This Be the Magic?" which he lifted from Chopin.

And so did Billy Joel in "This Night" (Beethoven's Pathétique Sonata)
