Toward the Flame: Boris Petrushansky’s Journey Through Scriabin’s Universe

Alexander Scriabin died in April 1915, at forty-three, of a fever that took him within a week — leaving his great mystical project unfinished. He left behind a piano language no one had spoken before, one that a century later still questions every interpreter who approaches it. Boris Petrushansky has spent a lifetime preparing his answer. In a new album and an extended conversation with Piano Street, he traces Scriabin’s path from the early Preludes to the final, shattering Op. 74. Read more

Chopin prelude no 1

Does anyone have any tips on how to practice this piece? When looking at the score, there seem to be polyrhythms in both hands, or am I missing something.

Wish I did! I started looking at the score a while back, but quickly decided I wasnt ready.

But I would try to seperate the individual parts in my mind, even write them out seperately. The score can look very confusing in this piece, so maybe that would help Im not sure?

I have two ideas (which may or may not be good):

1. Learn polyrhytm and the other things separately.
2. Outline the piece. Just don't play "unnecessary" notes
