DANCING DIFFUSION: Scriabin Valse Op 38 - Analysis

[@chlorines17]

I never would've expected to see this piece analyzed! Such an underrated gem :D

[@unnamed_boi]

yes!!! my favorite middle-period scriabin piece along with the 4th sonata

[@Bruceykeys]

The 4th is incredible, do you have a favourite recording? I really like Feinberg interpretation from the 30s

[@unnamed_boi]

@@Bruceykeys mine is quite basic, it's pletnev's recording. it isn't extremely fiery as someone like pogorelich, but no one has made the coda more inviting and he also has i think the most beautiful first movement.

[@peterrowan-bx4ci]

@@BruceykeysFeinberg is as good as it gets tbh

[@Bruceykeys]

I think it's very interesting how it goes for a 3 or 6 bar structure as opposed to 4 or 8 bar, gives it that momentum and giddy feeling a lot of his music produces.

[@dwdei8815]

I had real trouble polyrhythms and tried all methods of subdividing and trying to micro-match up the two hands. I've since found it much easier to include the next note after it, the destination note, and reduce the instruction to "to get there on the button, you need to hurry up/ slow down a touch". It sort of self-solves, like catching a ball. I did not know this piece but it is enchanting. Love the sinking inner voices - such a great emotional hook.

"It's like he doesn't know if he wants to write a waltz or a parody of a waltz" 😂 describes this piece perfectly haha! "But it doesn't matter because we can just enjoy the music"

[@vadimorlov4986]

Wow, I’ve never heard such a flying and melodic classical music! Thank you very much for this gate to the classical music! 🎹 I’ll definitely check more pieces of this composer

[@xBlaky]

The Quality of your Videos really is something special. It keeps getting better and better. Thanks for your hard work, I really apreciate all of your thoughts and tips on these beautiful pieces.

[@Андрей-й6у9б]

Ура! Спасибо за этот разбор, я узнал много нового и интересного) Если Вы сделаете когда-нибудь разбор Поэмы к пламени соч. 72 (Vers la flamme), то это будет просто превосходно)

[@mysterium364]

I have been listening to this for a while and just started learning it. I wonder if Scriabin originally thought of the theme in A flat or thought of it in another key and transposed it for the C8 lol.

[@NoahSpencer008]

My favorite Scriabin piece. Thank for the video!

[@asherjohnston597]

I just started learning this piece! I love it

[@jjl8511]

How is going with your practice?

[@Emilien-hy3sy]

Most beautiful piece ever? It's definitely up there

[@alexanfadel]

Thank you for making this sirr. This is one of my favorite Scriabin Valse

[@wcsxwcsx]

Not a piece for amateurs. You've got to know your stuff.

[@davidwhite2949]

Wonderful analysis, thank you!

[@bettyboy4041]

Awesome content, thank you! (just one little note - at 7:11, you referred to the Chopin nocturne op.62 no.1 yet typed "no.2" in the caption. At any rate, I've been exploring the different interpretations and professional recordings of the late Chopin nocturnes lately, and this transition back into the main theme indeed triggers the need to make such a comparison between the two works😄)

[@EnriqueGiliOrtiz]

Great piece, almost an obssesive Melody. One of my favourite Scriabin pieces, Thank you

[@Mazurking]

One of my favorite pieces by Scriabin! Thank you so much for covering it!

[@jta7]

Jag älskar att jag har hittat en svensk pianist! Bra jobbat!

[@tteerabeats9116]

Very lovely waltz indeed

[@Anonymous-zo2yx]

I want to attempt this piece, but would you say its difficulty is Henle ~7? I have trouble playing pieces harder than that level

[@SonataSecrets]

I don't know too much about the Henle grades, but it might be slightly above that. Mostly in the recaipulation with all the octaves though.

[@stephenowesney5173]

I find this piece so ineffably beautiful. And you, sir, deserve so much more attention. Thank you for all the work you put into your videos, its always fascinating to watch you explain your takes on the pieces im obsessed with. It would be selfish of me to say never stop but its clear you love what you do and i hope you do never stop creating content because you are so gifted!

[@bassodivo1]

You have a new subscriber here. Almost nowhere are their harmonic analysis on KZbin of classical piano and interpretation in one video. 👍😃

[@trutwijd]

New to your channel, love that you analyze scriabin, such an interesting composer!

[@margarethansen7480]

[@Bruceykeys]

Very good work and analysis of this Valse. I really enjoy your Scriabin videos but I'll be sure checking your other videos !

[@wiliamfmz14]

OMG, i cannot believe u just did an video about 2 of my preferete ones

[@craigh3680]

Brilliant! About 16:35 is very similar to the coda of sonata no.4 I just learned.

[@damiaanluc]

Thanks! Utterly adore this piece. A very pleasant surprise to see you cover it. Your expertise on display as usual. 🙏

[@maximereny5449]

Very interesting, as always 😊

[@Birbeniho]

Amazing analysis

[@randykern1842]

Scriabins music is a lot like Webern’s in that it’s so beautiful to watch the pianist play - Scriabin often interweaved the lines of music to cross hands, not in a Scarlatti way, but in a way that makes the hands look as if they’re dancing. It’s ALL OVER HIS MUSIC
