3rd Place: Favorite Scriabin Preludes 🥉 | Bronze: Op. 11 No. 21

EPISODE 1: 3rd Place, Prelude Op. 11 No. 21 in Bb Major. Episode 2 coming July 10.
Note: (1) I added some visuals to make my little kids laugh and want to listen to more Scriabin lol. (2) KZbin thinks this music is played by Gordon Fergus-Thompson. I'm flattered, but it's actually played by me! 😂(3) Like comment sub! 👊
These preludes are "easier" in the specific sense that they are andante or slower and they do not have crazy runs or rhythms. Making them sound great may still be difficult.
Of course, the rankings are subjective, and even my own opinions have changed since my "Top 4 Easier Scriabin Preludes" video.
I'm recording these with new omni capsules (vs. cardioid) on my Rode NT5 mics. I didn't add any reverb--with these capsules I'm not sure I need any. Hope you like the quality!
And for the Americans present: Happy 4th of July!

Note : (1) Je commence par la 3ème place, puis je compterai à rebours à partir de la 10ème dans une semaine environ. (2) J'ai ajouté quelques visuels pour faire rire mes petits enfants et les inciter à écouter plus de Scriabin lol. (3) KZbin pense que cette musique est jouée par Gordon Fergus-Thompson. Je suis flatté, mais c'est en fait moi qui joue ! 😂 (4) Aimez, commentez, abonnez-vous ! 👊
Ces préludes sont "plus faciles" dans le sens spécifique où ils sont andante ou plus lents et qu'ils n'ont pas de passages ou de rythmes fous. Les rendre magnifiques peut néanmoins rester difficile.
Bien sûr, les classements sont subjectifs, et même mes propres opinions ont changé depuis ma vidéo "Top 4 des Préludes plus Faciles de Scriabin".
J'enregistre ceux-ci avec de nouvelles capsules omni (vs. cardioïdes) sur mes micros Rode NT5. Je n'ai ajouté aucune réverbération - avec ces capsules, je ne suis pas sûr d'en avoir besoin. J'espère que vous aimerez la qualité !

I thought that I knew Scriabins work quite well, but that one somehow flew under the radar... Really beautiful, I think I will play it!

[@pianothingsmusic]

How very enchanting!! So lovely played 🥰

J'ai vu que la description de la vidéo était en partie en français donc je me permets d'écrire ce commentaire en français ! Merci beaucoup pour cette sublime interprétation d'un de mes préludes préférés, je suis ravi que mon choix soit partagé ! C'est génial d'avoir ajouté quelques annotations d'analyse, j'ai hâte de voir la suite !!

[@EdwardLyrene]

Excellent Marc!! This is one of my favorite ones as well! Love your running commentary! And I'm so excited to find out what else is on your list. I'll stay tuned!

[@MarcPlaysPiano]

Thanks, I'm glad you enjoyed it! :)

[@swagster816]

Lovely performance!

[@kmadsmusic]

Beautifully performed! I really love the analysis and commentary you put into your videos as well. Lovely job, Marc.

[@MarcPlaysPiano]

Thank you! I’m starting to get a process going for the commentary…write it up, show wife, she tells me it’s too much text, I delete a lot, and then I release. 😂

[@OutOfPiano]

Sooo mesmerizing, it really sounds like it's Fergus-Thompson playing haha, thank you for this tutorial

[@MarcPlaysPiano]

I actually haven’t listened to the Fergus-Thompson recording yet…now I feel like I need to, haha! Glad you enjoyed the video. :)

[@MusicLah]

I love this! It's sooo relaxing
