 Scriabin's Sonata #8

I've listened to all of Scriabin's works over the years, and the later sonatas seem especially mysterious and even peculiar in some ways. I remember first looking at the score of the 8th and wondering "what an unusual theme those downward spiraling fourths could be." Indeed, I have tried to play them at a reasonable speed, but this seems impossible. The figures, in different keys, are puzzlingly awkward, almost seeming to be deliberately composed to frustrate the pianist. Amazingly Ogdon plays them with preternatural speed, and Ponti a bit slower by crisp and clear. Does anyone have any tips on how to play these odd fourths?

hi people. Here is scriabin's 8th sonata recorded the other day with a GOOD piano and GOOD engineer.
WARNING: This was made purely for fun at the end of a long session. it's not a finishde product  but i hope you will listen and say, well, he's on his way, and it's going to be good. I had some embatrssing memory slip but i can play it without.

"I was in Poland the past summer to give 2 concerts. At the last minute they requested some Chopin, which I had not brought with me. So, I google-searched for classical downloads and found your site. I was able to print out excellent editions of the pieces I needed within minutes. To find the scores locally would have been inpossible as it was a smaller town, the nearest music store 45 minutes away."

"Piano Street has been a wonderful tool to me as both a pianist and a piano teacher. I can browse the collection for pieces I want to play and/or have my students play. The difficulty rating system that Piano Street uses enables me to search by difficulty level for pieces at my students' various playing levels. It is helpful that many of the scores include an audio clip of the piece being played. I have recommended to my advanced students that they also join Piano Street since getting sheet music from there is a much less expensive alternative to ordering and paying for the music.
