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

[Video] Chopin Waltz in A minor Op. Posthumous

Here is me playing Chopin's Waltz in A minor, there are a few mistakes and the piano is a little flat.  Feel free to leave any constructive criticism.  I'm sure I could play it better but I get nervous when recording with a camera.

Your left hand was a bit too loud and clunky, and your right hand should 'sing' with greater clarity.  I recommend practicing it without any pedal at all to really focus on building the legato!

Try not to play beats two and three of each measure quite so forcefully.
