Scriabin Sonata No 6 Op 62 (work in progress)
Переглядів 122Місяць тому
One of the more "accessible" of Scriabin's late sonatas, with only a few technically awkward places (at least compared to what is typically found in his writing). The main challenges include voicing/phrasing the recapitulation of the "dream" theme, and the coda (you might notice that I practiced these sections a lot more than the others lol).

      The fingers 1,2,3 belong to the "strong fingers" category. It's easier to play pretty much everything with them than say, 4 and 5. I mean, Chopin's Op 10 No. 2 is built to train your weaker fingers for doing chromatic scales

      @Dylan_1344 День тому

    • @RoninsMusic
      @RoninsMusic День тому

      Good question. Some reasons: 1. It's the first measures of the piece so harder to play without your hands already warmed up, like the other guy already mentioned. 2. The absence of left hand leaves the notes very exposed, and also forces you to shape the passage to make the bare melodic line more 'interesting'.
