Hi,
I am hopefully performing this in not much more than a month. I have pretty much learnt the whole piece, only I am having a lot of trouble with part of the 1st movement. The triplet trills in the LH near the start are giving me a whole lot of trouble - just can't get them fast enough. If anyone could give me advice on how to practice these, or other technical excersises I could to to help it would be much appreciated.

don't play them with the lh. ok. in measure 19-23 (on the chromatic scale on thru to triplets - this is the fingering i have - continuously RIGHT HAND - with lh crossing over to high notes)

1212313123123415 and then surprise - 5 again on the start of triplets (still with rh)

triplets= 521313131313152... (sneak hold on whole note D) cross left hand over right and use

2321212 on the a g# a b flat a a a with left hand!

hope this helps!

The great early 20th-century composer Alexander Scriabin left us 74 published opuses, and several unpublished manuscripts, mainly from his teenage years – when he would never go to bed without first putting a copy of Chopin’s music under his pillow. All of these scores (220 pieces in total) can now be found on Piano Street’s Scriabin page. Read more
