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

Soft Keys on Uprights
on: August 22, 2003, 03:06:56 AM
Hello, I have an upright, and I don't hate it, since I have been playing it for 8 yrs now, but I have always noticed that uprights or non-steinways always have soft and light keys. This is a problem because when I have lessons or performances on Steinways, the keys are much heavier and I sometimes miss notes in fast areas and in some areas cannot quite get the sound and tone I want and ususally can get on my upright, since I am used to the upright. Any suggestions or comments? How bout helping me finance a Steinway!!!
Thanks, Michael Yu

Have a piano tech regulate your piano.
