Toward the Flame: Boris Petrushansky’s Journey Through Scriabin’s Universe
Alexander Scriabin died in April 1915, at forty-three, of a fever that took him within a week — leaving his great mystical project unfinished. 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

"Happy Birthday" Theme & Variation
on: May 27, 2008, 03:46:32 AM
I couldn't go to one of my friend's birthday party last week, so I made a short recording of happy birthday to her. It's very short, and it's kind of a rough... (1 theme and 2 variations) and she likes it, everybody likes it and now everybody asks me to record one, a unique one, for everyone's birthday.

I suck at improvising. Anyone tried that before and please give me advises.

theme: monophonic theme in A major
variation 1: + same chord for 3 octaves from lowest A
variation 2: monophonic theme in high register + trills

I've tried to make it like a minuet, but it didn't work...

It's better if you have the scores :P
