Scriabin Preludes Opus 11

on: March 24, 2005, 10:35:37 PM

I'm currently studying the Prelude in D major. Can Bernhard or anyone else direct me to the relative technical standard/grade of these preludes so that I can attempt others in a step wise fashion. Thanks

Useless FACT:

The C major prelude from 11 is one of the best EVER!

The keys are in the cycle of 5ths as used in the Chopin Preludes. i.e: C, A min, G, E min etc. The D major in Opus 11 No 5.

Ok, there's a recording of me playing it on my media site.

Hey, CJ, Thanks for posting the link to your site. The recordings sound great (although it sounds like someone's making a cup of tea in the background of the Mussorgsky...might want to try another take without kitchen accompaniment

). Keep 'em coming.

Just passing the information given by Bernhard in another thread :

(scroll down for Scriabin)

There may be yet another thread as well.

Thanks. I have 3 dogs and they simply love Russian piano music, so they must join me all the time. That recording was done while one of them was chewing on a bone or soemthing.

Many thanks for your help. With that information I can work out some of the others. I would judge that the following grades apply:
Grade 5:

Opus 11 No 17
Opus 11 No 21

Grade 7:

Opus 11 No 13

Grade 7-8:

Opus 11 No 2
Opus 11 No10
Opus 11 No 12

Grade 8:

Opus 11 No 23

If anyone's got the time to glance at these works and see if they agree with my superficial assessment of their technical difficulties it would be appreciated.
I am interested in learning Opus 11 Nos 1, 11, 14 and 24. Would these all be well above Grade 8 or not? Again any scriabin lovers out there.... any advice would be appreciated.
Regards
Bob
