Suggestions for late Scriabin? (shorter works)
on: November 29, 2005, 08:25:38 PM
I'm interested in learning some late Scriabin, but I don't know where to start, as I've only sightread a bit of it and I don't have any recordings to refer to. I'm interested in learning some shorter, not-too-taxing pieces (i.e., no difficult etudes, or other pieces on the level of his etudes). Do you have any favorites to recommend?

Thanks in advance,

-M

You may be interested in this book of collected miniatures and other pieces.  I have it along with the other two in the Dover set.

Thanks for the link! If you purchase the "other works," etudes/preludes, and sonatas all together on amazon it costs a total of just 35 dollars. That doesn't sound like a deal I could possibly pass up!  ;D
