Oh god, yes. Rachmaninoff is awesome. I just found some of his stuff on Napsterlinks and it's insane. Without a doubt my favorite classical pianist as well.

A LOT of people took mozarts ideas and extrapolated. Not just Beethoven. Hummel, for example, was a Mozart wannabe, and so was Johann Christensen Bach.
