I saw this guy win the Leeds with Rach's Sonato #2 and Concerto #3. Still have yet to find one to beat him. He's got the emotion contained in a sea of tears. Biggest fan...love his playing
ive been playing piano for about 9 years now, i had 17 in that video now i have 20 =) hehe It took me years too and even know again im gonna play the whole sonata for my exam =D so im working again on that movement, its wonderful. I remember when i first heard that piece, i heard a midi haha and i was like! OMG i wanna play it! but thats what the effort and constance brings as result =D! Wow today im buying a new piano! im so excited i cant even sleep! it is awesom! perfect sound and mechanism!
Wow it must have been awesome watching him live! Ive only listened to him in audio recordings :( thanks to him im gonna play this mazurka in my next exam (its already finished) =D ill also play full Beethovens moonlight sonata so it will make a pretty nice contrast :D i love how both hands play with the melody :D
well actully i learned the mazurka the first day, the interesting part is letting it grow and make it yours =) its what i like =D. The 3rd mov of the sonata demands a lot of technique, the video i have here is from 2007, im working again on it and in a much better way, with new technique learned from my new teacher at the conservatory. If wanna prepare for that piece i hardly recomend u to do technique on arpeggios, lots of it and in both hands, that will make it look a lot easyer...
Thanks! yea i got the piano next to me now =) its a beautiful brown kaway manufactured in japan :D almost all made in wood! so it sounds awesome :D. The Basso Alberti, its a kind of broken chords accompainment, Mozart used it a lot like in the Sonata Facile (C G E G - C G E G - To play the chord C).
oh i ment the mazurka, i already finished working it, now im just letting it grow musically =). The exam will be around June this year, its an exam we have every semester on my conservatory :D but ill tell u for sure how it goes :D i hope i can record it!
... but it is indeed a piece u have to work very much, and to understand it better i recomend u play not just the 3rd mov. but all of them, the secret its in studying slow with metronome step by step, separate hands and always practicing technique (arpeggios, scales, octaves and practice the alberti thing). if u want to play it soon or later, do that =) lots of arpeggios and read the score so u get ur own exercises so when u work it u find it easyer to forget about all but the music =D
What I don't understand though, is this habit of some pianists of constantly delaying the melody notes so that they fall just after the left hand chords. It's one thing to do it OCCASIONALLY for an aesthetic effect but when it's every. Fucking. Beat. Jeeze!
Yes I get your point and I support you argument. It's just that this pianist has something magical about the way he plays Scriabin his own way.I played this after knowing this recording and I then realised of how less he respects the scores indications or the notes values but in the end I still love his way of playing.
Chopinco Yeah, I'm definitely not arguing against his touch and overall sound. He's got that down beautifully! I just feel like when pianists get too addicted to the particular aesthetic I pointed out, it starts to sound like they're constantly tripping and the rhythmic continuity is lost. It's tough with Scriabin because his music is so overlaiden with precise polyrhythms, yet the feel and aura of his music gives the impression that a musician need not worry about being precise with these things. It's a tough balance!
KIBanshee9 Yes I do get your point :D, my piano teacher used to say something very clever to me when studying Scriabins second sonata, he said that he was a great improvisor so it's quite a possibility that he wouldn't play all of those difficult irregular rhythms as precise as they are written. He told me to take some liberty smartly without losing the sense of rhythmic continuity as you mentioned.
Hey, my exam was this monday, i uploaded 2 videos from it! i got 10 or A+ however u call it =) i did pretty good on my exam, if u wanna see i have 2 preludes under my username, one by Scriabin and one by Debussy. I also uploaded a video of the Mazurka, but i played it at my new piano =) cheers! please go and take a look :D and tellme what u think :D tks!
That's right, this is probably too slow. The Belaev edition (in the screen shot) has quarter note = 144-168, and also, we know how Scriabin himself played it: th-cam.com/video/xgD8Qq01CxY/w-d-xo.htmlm55s
After hearing Scriabin's own playing (piano roll), this doesn't sound like a Mazurka anymore. More like a dreamy Nocturne, but I still like it

thank you very much.
I really love the way this guy play's...
I believe he is one of the great pianists of our time!
Ok, guys...I'm in love!!!

@angel0exterminador Scriabin has that effect =)

it's crazy of god awful this recording is 😭😭😭😭😭😭
I like pizzaro's recordings but this ain't it. Look at scriabin's playing of this piece for comparison. This is such awful playing.
Too slow and too much pedal. He's making a ritardando on every single note. This music used to be agile and crisp when was written.
