scriabin piano concerto

[Ryan]

I am writing to see if anyone is a big fan of this concerto. It makes me quite sad that this work is hardly mentioned and seems in the shadows compared to all other standard works. I think especially in the first and second movements that there are some of the most ravishing melodies i have heard rivaling anything rachmaninoff wrote. I always cringe when i hear people describe scriabin as sounding like a russian chopin because i strongly disagree and i think this concerto is simply gorgeous
Anyone agree? And how hard is it technically as i have seen the score and it dosen't look as bad as it is made out.

i totally agree! it's wonderful, i love it, and it's not too dificult technically (it's difficult in many other ways )

Yes i have always liked the left hand parts to scriabin's piano music, even though they are difficult they seem to go so deep and low into the piano that the sound is immense, the concerto has lots of moments like that. I think scriabin had a wonderful for gift for melody that is entirley his own.
