Top 4 Easier Scriabin Preludes for Piano

Top 4 is purely my opinion at the time of recording this video. So, if you have different favorites of Scriabin's preludes, share them! I've actually got...well...at least 3 others that I really like, and I may record them eventually.
I find these 4 preludes by Scriabin to be achingly beautiful. I prefer early Scriabin to late--as he got older, his music acquired more and more of a sick/disturbed quality. The early stuff is absolutely magical, though--he had a real gift for writing miniatures, and for weaving multiple melodies together, and for making wild but satisfying harmonies. Some of them have a relaxed nature that he never really revisits after he gets older. I hope this video helps you see some of that magic! Here are the pieces I play in this video:

Estos 4 preludios son dolorosamente hermosos. Prefiero el Scriabin temprano al tardío; a medida que envejecía, su música adquiría cada vez más una calidad enferma/perturbada. Sin embargo, las obras tempranas son absolutamente mágicas: tenía un verdadero don para escribir miniaturas, para entrelazar múltiples melodías juntas, y para crear armonías salvajes pero satisfactorias. ¡Espero que este video te ayude a ver algo de esa magia!

As a follow-up to this video, I made a "Top 10" easier Scriabin prelude series. Here it is! th-cam.com/video/Sf47sVaL1Q4/w-d-xo.html
What are your favorite Scriabin works? (Note at 2:14 note probably should've been Bb major, chromatic mediant, rather than G minor.)

[@hshshs2007]

Scriabin is a very paradoxical and versatile composer let alone "moody" as well but I love his preludes op.11, sonatas 1,2 and 3 , etudes op.8 and op. 42

[@MusicLah]

I never really play any of Scriabin's pieces or etudes before, but I particular enjoy the second one that you played. Great work!

[@MarcPlaysPiano]

Thanks for the shout out, I'm glad you enjoyed it! Scriabin had a really special magic to him sometimes, so I love introducing people to more of his music. If you like to geek out on theory stuff, one of my favorite guys made this cool video recently on a technique Scriabin sometimes uses: th-cam.com/video/ySWyg85r-5w/w-d-xo.html

[@VERY_VARIOUS_VIDEOS]

Wonderful music and performance. Thank you very much for sharing. Video. 👍

[@NorkelFjols]

No. 15 from op.11 and no.3 from op. 16 are also touching and accessible early Scriabin pieces.

[@Michael-dr6ix]

Very beautiful, brought out the sheet music, going to practice tomorrow. Thank you.

[@MarcPlaysPiano]

Thanks, and that's awesome. Your comment makes me feel like I've completed my mission, at least in one small way...haha.

Wunderschön und sehr sensibel gespielt ❤

[@moonlapsepiano]

Wonderful video!!! I love Scriabin so much 💜

[@MarcPlaysPiano]

Thank you!! 👊

[@samuelcarrizalez3956]

really nice video! I love Scriabin and i really didn't know those preludes, except for the last one, but i liked them, specially the first one. My fav scriabin prelude is Op. 16 No. 1, specifically Igor Zhukov recording.

[@MarcPlaysPiano]

Thanks! Op. 16 no. 1 is amazing also…beautiful in that uniquely ethereal Scriabin way. I just listened to Zhukov-good stuff. You may also enjoy Horowitz’s recording of it! His cantabile and phrasing are killer.

[@MarcPlaysPiano]

Thanks for the tip on Op. 16 No. 1. I worked on it all April and just made a recording...and gave you a shout out at the beginning, haha: th-cam.com/video/HPGFox7s7Cw/w-d-xo.html
P.S. The way Zhukov handles the inner voice in that piece is pretty amazing. I didn't quite emphasize it as much as he did, but his recording did help inform my performance!

[@rodnaskel2123]

Same, this prelude is absolutely beautiful

[@lawrencetaylor4101]

Very nice.

[@MarcPlaysPiano]

Thanks, I’m glad you enjoyed it!

[@Independent_Dreamer]

Op.2 No.2, Op.11 No.15, Op.11 No.21, Op.16 No.3, Op.17 No.3

[@MarcPlaysPiano]

Thanks! These are great. Funny you mention Op. 11 No. 21...I just published a video of it. th-cam.com/video/Sf47sVaL1Q4/w-d-xo.html
I plan to release some of the others in the coming weeks also. :)

[@erickcomck8610]
