  • Опубліковано 2 лип 2024
  • Scriabin takes the standard Waltz form and makes it his own with the help of floating polyrhythms, tender melodies, dramatic surges and exploratory harmony in this marvellous composition. The piece was a request by my Patreon sponsor D. E. Frez. With Henrik Kilhamn, pianist.

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

      @@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.

    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.

    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.

    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.

    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😄)

    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
      @SonataSecrets  11 днів тому

      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.
