Apologies for the audio quality - somehow my external audio setup didn't record the analysis part so I had to use audio from the keyboard camera (smartphone) which isn't as good and harder to mix with its autolevels. It's now happened two times for these 150 or so videos - when it happened for Bachs Prelude in C major I reshot it, but I didn't have it in me to redo this! 😅
Audio is fine, the performance is prosaic and mundane, especially for a impassioned and revolutionary work. You're busy and I know maintaining a channel is time consuming but Scriabin deserves better 🥂
I was going to just write how beautiful the sound is... lol no worries at all sir, this is so so beautiful, and it sounds so powerful and clear, as well as the analysis. I appreciate this very much.
18:30 I fell in love with Horowitz's choice to hit that low A# an octave lower with abandon like a fall into abyss. Trifonov and Lugansky have followed suit in their performances.
Fantastic analysis! I love the absolute incredible intensity this piece creates, it's quite unlike anything else. You make this incredibly difficult piece look easy BTW 😅
Thanks so much for this great analysis. I`ve known and loved this piece for many years but never had anyone look at it this way. Another great Etude of his which is heroic in nature like this one is his op. 42 no.5 in C# minor. Great video as always! h
The way you handle and understand this piece reminds me a lot of your approach to Ondine - with a strong emphasis on separating out and shaping each voice individually. It gives the music a nice depth that easily lends itself to storytelling. I like it! (Also if there’s any time to not reshoot, this would be it! For what it’s worth it still sounds nice on phone speakers)
It’s basically a theme with development section. Recap and coda. If you look at the etudes of Chopin many are very prelude like with continuous harmonic development. This etude has elements of that but with some elements of sonata form and theme development.
Awesome Video! Can someone recommend other Scriabin pieces like this, Valse Op. 38, Fantasy in B Minor or Sonata 4/5? i really love his melodic / chopinesque pieces but im not really a fan of his atonal stuff
op 42 no 5 is probably his best short piece in the middle period. op 32 is very nice, op 11 no 14,24,11 op 27, op 12 no 2. But you should try listening more to late scriabin, i also didn’t like it in the beginning
Op. 45 no. 1 Other etudes Op. 8 All the impromptus Op. 2 no. 1 Romance for horn and piano Sonatas 2 and 3 The piano concerto His atonal stuff is a taste to be acquired but is equally sublime.
Well, specifically d#-f# is the smallest 10th, but I thought after I had recorded that probably you could just break it up too if you need to, just like the d#-g#.
This is one of the most hated piano pieces to play by most pianists. I love it. played a couple of pages in the past but never finished it. I think I want to get back to it. and see what happens lol..

@@feedittothegoat388 this comment really makes me wonder.

This is my favorite Scriabin piece. It sounds so good
Feels kinda like saying your favorite Beethoven piece is Für Elise, but it’s not a bad etude, just not his best piece tho
You are a genius!! We're so lucky that these amazing videos are available for free!
This is a FANTASTIC Christmas present. Love this piece by Scriabin. Thank you and Merry Christmas.
Finally I was waiting for this video thanks !

I'm enjoying your Scriabin album very much, thank you Henrik for playing such wonderful music.
You are amazing!! I love watching your videos and learning from them. Thank YOU!!
I played this piece as one of my jury pieces in college. Would have loved to have these kinds of tutorials back in the day. Thank you!

quality content watching on repeat approved :D ♥

Great video, super music,❤❤❤❤
Video is amazing (as always). But do you plan on analyzing his late sonatas? especially 7th
I don't, actually.
@@SonataSecrets 😢 but…
Awesome Video!

Op. 45 no. 1
Other etudes Op. 8
All the impromptus
Op. 2 no. 1
Romance for horn and piano
Sonatas 2 and 3
The piano concerto
His atonal stuff is a taste to be acquired but is equally sublime.
@ didn’t know he had rwitten rimances
the fantasy is such a beatiful piece. also the first movement of his piano concerto is outstanfing and really romantic
You should make a video on the alternative version too!
Beautiful piece and analysis thank you. So you need to reach a 10th to play this? :)
Well, specifically d#-f# is the smallest 10th, but I thought after I had recorded that probably you could just break it up too if you need to, just like the d#-g#.

Scriabin wrote an interesting alternate version too.
Pls do Mozart sonata 1a
Second 🎉
By far not the fiercest. The most well known for sure.
Sorry but this etude's technique is not within your grasp yet. LH needs to drive the pulse; listen to the harmonies more artistically.
Listen to sofronitsky and kastelsky
I agree, it's a dull rendition, it may seem harsh being critical isn't wrong.
Feel free to not listen.
