I'd never heard it until I followed your link, so thank you for posting it. I didn't recognize the piece, but used a reverse image search on just that portion of the comic that held the notes. The search came up with no exact matches, but a couple looked promising and I followed those until I found a possible name. Then, on Wikipedia I found this image. It appears to be a match, but I admit I could be wrong.
It really surprised me though that recognizable music was even used at all. He could have just thrown any complicated looking set of notes up and been done. I guess he didn't want to risk the wrath of letters from piano students everywhere
EDIT: Ha! I didn't see that in the original post that Rachmaninoff was mentioned until just now. I thought I was adding new information. I could have saved myself the bother entirely.
