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

Anyone know the "extra" notes he's playing in the exposition? It sounds like he's playing the arpeggios up, and then down, but I've already tried this and it doesn't quiet sound the same. I'm wondering if he added some notes after recording it?

I'm playing this piece next week in front of a few acquaintances, and I know they will love to hear it played like this.

Any ideas would help.

(the last movement by the way, but anyway that has heard him play this already knows that anyway i guess)
