What are your favorite Scriabin and Shostakovich Preludes?

on: December 25, 2005, 06:54:18 PM

And can you also give an approximate time they take to play?

Scriabin Op.11 No.14 and 15. 11-14 is less than a minute, though I'm not sure exactly how long either "should" be. (I don't like using that word in music. It seems too strict.)

Sorry - the time because I am looking to add a few to my next program, and I need about 12 minutes-ish. I don't have any recordings yet, and I was just hoping for a general idea of how long they run.

As far as recordings go I have Kieth Jarret playing the Shostakovich preludes and fugues and I really enjoy them. They never get old. I also have the sheet music but haven't started learning any yet as most are beyond me and I haven't had the time. Speaking of Jarret I just finished listening to his CD of improvised material recorded in Japan. I enjoyed it as much as when I first heard him over twenty years ago with the Bremen/Lausanne and Koln Concerts. Jim.
