Hi there,
did anyone ever play this piece... I have some questions! Also, if you´ve never heard it, get a hold of it, its great music   (i can DCC;MSN;ICQ;email you)

I have not heard a two-piano version, but I do have the Scriabin Symphony, it's one of my favorite orchestral pieces.  I'm curious though, because the symphony relies a lot on long, sustained chords and pitches and I'm wondering how the arrangement manages to compensate for this on the piano.

Oh I agree with you, it is also one of my favourites - sits side by side with Villa-Lobos 3rd mouvement of the 1st Piano Concerto, performed by the Moscow SO and Arthur Moreira Lima on the piece´s world premiere... anywaysss, Yes, no symphony can be transcribed for piano (maybe if they used 5...) without loosing a lot of its appeal, and this Symphony particularly has a lot of suspense, everywhere! So in order to play it on 2 pianos, you have to take the tempo a little faster and just stand on the sustain pedal, haha. My email is [email protected] if you care to listen to it.
