Very cool, thank you for posting this. What do you think about scriabin not ever playing this piece in public. Do you notice any demonic spirits surrounding the piece? It feels like forbidden music haha
Thank you! Well I am discussing some of this in the video. To add more - I think it is more about dealing with one's own 'shadow' (the concept of Carl Jung) rather than with 'external' 'demonic' spirits. It's more about internal work (whether these things can be considered demonic, or traumatic or anything else - each story is unique for everyone who tackles this piece...)
Thank you! Well I was always curious about Scriabin’s world. He wanted to unite all the arts in a synthesis to create omni-artistic works. This really fascinated me. So I decided to dive in and figure it all out better. I took more than a decade to study it thoroughly (literature/recordings included, playing lots myself) - in other words did what I could. The rest is not up to me to judge ☺️
I had no idea you couldn't reach those chords! 🤯 Do you think Scriabin did the same when he had to play his wide spacings? Welp... Guess I have one less excuse not to learn the rest of the late sonatas now (Only really played the fifth up to this point) having bigger than average hands
I can't reach a lot... Barely a ninth, forget about the tenths :-D I think Scriabin himself didn't have large hands in fact, so he rolled a lot, plus generally it was a trend to 'not play chords together' back then I think - but he took it to the extremes, as it was part of his very unique rubato... :)
@@ElinaAkselrud I've read somewhere or other that Scriabin had small hands, quite in contrast to the other half of the mutual admiration society, Rachmaninoff.
This is one of the best channels i have found on youtube, this is literally a masterclass lesson for free. Thank you sincerely ;)
Thanks, glad to hear! :)
A mon sens Scriabine est un des plus grands génies de l'histoire, et ses oeuvres pour piano sont des bijoux. Merci !
Absolument!
It is actually not a bad price for the bundle. I wish it were offered for more mainstream sonatas like Prokofiev’s.
Mainstream isn’t necessarily good. I much prefer scriabin to prokofiev in terms of “strange” piano works.
Thanks! I appreciate it, since I absolutely love Scriabin's works (although Prokofiev's music is very cool in my opinion!)
Who knows... maybe sometime in the future :-D
@@Jack-qk1sq it’s not about what’s good, mainstream courses should sell better.
Wow! This is is fantastic! Not too familiar with these but would absolutely buy bundles like these of pieces i knew

@@ElinaAkselrud Interesting, thanks for your response!
Fantastic. How did you get interested in the scriabin sonatas?. Its kind of a rare cycle, and very difficult to tackle.
