Scriabin - Advice on sonata No. 2 in G#m
on: July 10, 2006, 12:35:29 AM
Considering picking this up; currently play the famous D#m etude, the 11/14 prelude in Ebm, and a host of other things from other composers.

I know the first movement can be easily butchered, but that second bit - the presto - is what has my attention at the moment in terms of "uhhh, what am I gonna do with this now?"

For those of you that play or are currently working on this piece, what suggestions might you have?

Currently listening to Ashkenazy's recording of it; beautiful thing, imo.

What you should do with this presto?  Play it, it's wonderful   :D

Rhythmically, it's interesting, because it's 3/2 measure, but the accents are
1 2 3 | 1 2 3  | etc.

Not needed to say: it has to be played ve - ry fast and with ve-ry much pedal
If it doesn't work - try something different!

Did you really just bump a five year old advice thread just to advertise yourself?
