Pedal use in Scriabin's Prelude Op. 22 No 1
on: October 25, 2013, 03:19:19 PM
Hi,

I'm currently trying to learn Scriabin's Prelude Op. 22 No 1 in G# minor, but unfortunately I wasn't able to find a score with pedal marks. What I'm more or less intuitively playing is something like the following, i.e. often depressing the pedal for the whole bar and sometimes just starting at the second quaver:



However this sometimes seems a bit much, but on the other hand, releasing the pedal anywhere doesn't seem right either as it breaks up the notes in the left hand. So how would you play that? Is there a correct way to play it, or at least a more proper one?


The score can be found here, and this is a performance Ilike:
