Scriabin Etude
on: January 18, 2006, 03:22:16 PM
I want to start with Scriabin Etudes, and my question is which is the appropiate etude to start with? most of them are pretty difficult. I have a pdf with the complete etudes and I have spent some time taking a look at them. At first glance I realized that one of the easiest is Op.42 No.7 in F minor.
What do you think? and which one is next?

Take a look at Scriabin's Etude Op.2 No.1
I like this piece a lot and since it doesn't really speed up, it's less harder than an Etude with fast passages in it. Of course, to make this piece sound like it should sound is the hardest thing.

The two slow etudes from Opus 8, nos 8 and 11, are not technically too demanding, yet such kingly music. Also, the Op 49 no 1 doesn't look too bad. If you have the right kind of fingers, try the famous 42/3.
Or you could just leap right in, but don't hurt yourself!

You are right, it doesn't look too bad. I think I will focus on it.

The Scriabin Etudes are great pieces to play.
My favs are Nos Op 2, No.1 - very Russian and Rachmaninov but darker.
Op. 8 No.2, 3, 4, 5..they are all excellent pieces to play - technically quite demanding but not too demanding.
The later ones are a bit too atonal for my liking - I always prefer the late-Romantic Rachmaninov-like styles. But Scriabin is brilliant, darker sounding than Rachmaninov.

Pick one you like, then watch the left hand. If it feels fine enough, GOOD! It's pretty much all about a nasty left hand.

Well, not always a nasty left hand... but frequently. I'm currently learning etudes op 8. nos 5 and 12. 5 seems to be more focused on the RH, while 12 is just insane on the LH.

I played a Scriabin Etude last night in school concert, (C# minor) very 1st one. I learnt it on the day of the concert, arrived, found out I was playing on an electric piano
then went on stage, started playing in front of all the people, and it was in B minor, i was very confused, and kept playing, with my eyes glued to the score as I was totally out in terms of pitch, i just couldn;t hear it at all and kept trying to correct myself. Stood up at end, and realised that some idiot had left the trnspose button on and put it a tone flat!!!
Total disaster, luckily only one person had perfect pitch in the audience, but it was still a disaster, Scriabin etude in C#/ B minor. haha, bet he was turning in his grave

I've played Op. 42 Nos. 1, 3, 4 and 7. No. 7 is indeed one of the less difficult of the set, but it is very beautiful. It almost goes without saying that with Scriabin you need a good approach to cross rhythms.
