Scriabin 5, Prokofiev 7, Bartok 1 (sonatas)

on: January 25, 2014, 03:06:44 AM

So I am very familiar (by listening) with all three. I am trying to decide which one to pick for a competition. Which is technically the most accesible. I Used to play the Allegro inquieto and Precipitato (I was scared of the andante caloroso) at 75 percent speed but I haven't even read through the S5 or B1. Any advice? Thanks -Aaron

Scriabin 5's the easiest, but unless you've taken ecstasy pills, you won't have a clue about the emotions being evoked. It can very easily just become a speed contest. pretty much all 3 sonatas are prone to premature bashing...
