Top 5 most difficult Scriabin's preludes Op.11
on: February 18, 2011, 03:56:35 PM
Hello

I really like those preludes; they are full of passion and mystery. I would like to learn some of those preludes but I want to play the most difficult ones.

Can you help me to select the top 5 most difficult one?

Thanks

The masterpiece tell the performer what to do, and not the performer telling the piece what it should be like, or the cocomposer what he ought to have composed.

I have played many of these preludes, and have tried all of them. Numbers 3, 7, 11, 14, and 16, are the most difficult, I think.

Remember to pay attention to the metronome markings, they are Scriabin's own, and the recordings prove that he himself followed them closely.

Why on earth does it matter which are the most difficult? If you feel that you are capable of playing any of them, why not just pick your favorites, or ones which go well as a set?
