This is a very spontaneous interpretation with just one play-through before. I hope you will like it :P

  Perfect, i wounder if you still think like a cello player, the LH melody i gess would sound better on a cello.

Though you won't be able to play the low B on a cello because the lowest note a cello can play is a C 2. Ok you could tune it down a half step ;D

Hi pianowolfi,

I like your recording of this Bm Prelude.  You let it breathe.  Some nice poetic effects too.  I've attached my recording, not my best performance of this prelude, but OK.  I think I make more of the rise and fall of the contour dynamics in the LH, which also adds a bit more intensity, whereas your rendition is more relaxed.  But I also realize you did just one read-through before recording, and you likely would have refined that particular aspect more as well.  Anyway, it's always fun to compare interpretations.

Although I do not know this piece (I don't listen to the preludes often), I really liked to listen to you. It is very evocative and you make it feel like it is right. Thanks, I liked it a lot.

Poems of Ecstasy – Scriabin’s Complete Piano Works Now on Piano Street

The great early 20th-century composer Alexander Scriabin left us 74 published opuses, and several unpublished manuscripts, mainly from his teenage years – when he would never go to bed without first putting a copy of Chopin’s music under his pillow.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
