About the Rachmaninoff issue, I have two thoughts:
(1) You could choose a composer (and Rachmaninoff is one) who is thought to have had problems with mood stability. Here's one list, although I would add Mozart as well.
(2) You could choose a kind of composition such as a toccata or an etude that typically has a more energetic pace, and/or you could make use of tempo notations (start at "Basic Tempo Markings").
