There's Ich Ruff Zu Dir and then what's the second one? Sounds randomly wild.

No idea what it is. But maybe it is a Scarlatti piece. At least that is the impression I get. But I am very ignorant about Scarlatti music so I may be very wrong.

The first one is Ich Ruf zu Dir.   The second one is Nun Freut Euch, Lieben Christen Amein.  Both are arrangements of organ choral preludes.

Thank you richy.

Btw apologies to the forum, I mistakenly posted it in "Performance" instead of repertoire.

Edit: hahahahaha, the piece is not meant to be wild, it's the performer. What a show-off, Valentina  8).

He left behind a piano language no one had spoken before, one that a century later still questions every interpreter who approaches it. Boris Petrushansky has spent a lifetime preparing his answer. In a new album and an extended conversation with Piano Street, he traces Scriabin’s path from the early Preludes to the final, shattering Op. 74. Read more
