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

JS Bach 18 Short Preludes
on: April 26, 2006, 06:55:08 PM
I recently picked up this edition published by Alfred publishing.  It contains 18 short preludes some taken from the book of Wilhem Friedmann Bach. My question is that since these are not listed ( that I can find) in the complete works of JS Bach, were they written by JS Bach or by someone else and incorporated in the book of Wilhem Friendmann Bach? I don't have the numberes for these pieces.

Thanks

The little preludes are J.S. Bach's.  They are wonderful.

What do you mean they are not listed?  Look around BWV 924 and up, particularly the 6 from 933-938.
Money does not make happiness, but it can buy you a piano.  :)

Gould recorded them all; they accompany the Toccatas album (as well as the little fugues).
Medtner, man.
