Alexander Scriabin - 12 Etudes Op. 8 (Audio + sheet music)

Unfortunately the pianist here does not play some of the correct notes in the left hand, most notably the high D-sharps (with 5 ledger lines) which are played as B's.

@@ՀայկՍեւոյան-ձ9ծ Scriabin and Rachmaninoff went to school together and were good friends privately. The rivalry between their respective admirers was fabricated and encouraged by their publisher Koussevitsky to increase both composers' publicity.

[@MrInterestingthings]

This woman has the most musical unobvious way with this music . Her style here tells us something true and real about Scriabin . One wonders why it hasn't been guessed at before . An old world of perfumes and gardens but it is not the salon world of shallow depths we've experienced before it is true and each phrase is full of life and Nature . She puts a healthiness in Scriabin we never hear and it suits an opus 8 youthful work from a boy who still feels life full of promise !

[@alvarogarciabarbosa3199]

His piano concerto has one of the most beautiful adagios. These studios are great with a lot of influence of Chopin and Liszt.

[@Dylonely_9274]

I agree with you.

[@fionalam6041]

I've known of Scriabin since childhood, but only really listened to him now. Wow. And man that looks difficult lol. Would people say this is more or less difficult than Chopin etudes? Edit: each etude I listen to, I keep thinking this is my favourite one. then the next one comes up and its my new favourite one. how have i been living without this music in my life for so long :( Edit 2: how do people even play this.....??? like it literally looks impossible Edit 3: i keep thinking it can't get harder to play. and it just does.... Edit 4: I KNOW NO. 12!! AND i didnt know it was part of this miraculous set of music. what a hell of a way to end this series. amazing.

[@jeannot524music]

No need to reply to your quesiton. The answer is not even IN the quesiton. The quesiton IS the answer. See 2 other self-contained Q&A: -In the RGB color scheme, which color is the most beautiful? - Which picture of the 3 composers do you find the most handsome? To handle quesiotn #1, if you like impressionist paintings, which is by the way also what the 3 composers all are - in the musical sense -, I bet you will say all 3, because these are the fundamentals that bring (white) light, i.e. a sense of color and the depth of music in your brain and emotions. Musical emotions are triggered manifestations of happiness. They mean an internal rebound following a brain shock of an external pack of sounds inside us. Depending on our current state of mind, we carve an internal echo chamber that reverberate differently the music inside of us. An this echo chamber is almost an artistic biometric feature. It segregates people, not as unique ndividuals, but in "packs" of lyrics freaks, jazz fans, opera afficionados, etc. For me, my taste evolved from the first to the thirs over the years. I played all 3 (not as a professional), but as madly in love individual who can, almost at will, rebuild himeslef by listening, time after time, to these giants musicians unique deliveries. No reason to choose. Love is not a selection. It is a present. ps: look at Godowski's Etudes transcribed from Chopîn. Then pick up Scriabin Etude Op 42 n° 5. Climax here: get Scriabin OSSIA Etude Op 8 n° 12. I fell of my chair when i heard the latter. it is here: kzbin.info/www/bejne/qXjZiomvbL-shpY or here: kzbin.info/www/bejne/rKm3dYmlZ5ybfdk Loving music is full of surprises, right? Keep enjoying!
