| What are good Scriabin etudes for someone who is playing these etudes for the first time? ??? preferably Gr. 6 -7 Thanks |
|
i would like to know how would u rank the difficulty of scriabin sonatas (hardest, easiest)
this topic was discussed a long time ago ( i did a search ) but i would like to hear opinions of more people .
same about the etudes

Op.8 is the 'Romantic Chopinesque' set, Op.42 the 'Middle Period Modernism' set, Op.65 the 'Scriabin Quasi-Atonality' set.
There are 26 etudes, when including Op.2 No.1, Op.49 No.1 and Op.56 No.4 besides these three sets.
I have a plethora of questions about them:
1. How would one go about learning the entire collection? Is there a prescribed learning order?
2. Which three or four would be considered the easiest?
3. Which three or four would be considered the hardest?
4. Which ones are played too often while the others go neglected?
5. Is there any particular combination of etudes in which one's prescribed technique can unlock that of another? (i.e. I have been told that the jumps and stretches of Op.8 No.12 provide a step towards the much harder Op.42 No.5)
6. Which ones are useful for events like competitions and college auditions?
Thank you so much,
Phil

Hey guys, long time no post. How is everybody? My question is about Scriabin's etudes in D# minor op.8#12 and C#minor op.42#5. These seem really difficult, but I really want a challenge. I was wondering if anyone has played both of these and could tell me which one is more difficult and could compare their difficulty to other repertoire. Thanks guys.
P.S. I am now attending Colgate University and was chosen by the piano department head to take private lessons with him - as you can tell I'm really excited. |
