moszkowsky - Caprice Espagnole op37

on: September 21, 2006, 01:26:48 PM

Hi How many of you have played this fantasic little piece?? What are your impressions. How difficult do you find it?? Im considering learning it as an encore number. Would you say its comparable in difficulty to the more taxing etudes by Moszkowsky??

I saw Kissin use it as an encore - nothing short of spectacular! (That, after a jaw-dropping Petroushka

)

It looks at least as difficult as the etudes (Op. 72, anyway), but as I haven't seen the music I couldn't really say for sure. It's a wonderful encore piece, though, so if you feel a great desire to learn the piece, don't let anyone stop you.

The great early 20th-century composer Alexander Scriabin left us 74 published opuses, and several unpublished manuscripts, mainly from his teenage years – when he would never go to bed without first putting a copy of Chopin’s music under his pillow. All of these scores (220 pieces in total) can now be found on Piano Street’s Scriabin page. Read more
