Well played Raul ! But cheese, it's the most boring video ever to be seen no YT ! At the very least put some pictures on it.

Thanks, cbreemer.  I see what you're saying about not having any pictures on the 'video', but I feel that maybe it helps people to focus on the music more easily?

Thank you for sharing.  There seems to be somewhat of a resemblance to Scriabin's 2/1: the key, the meter, the dotted rhythm.  Nonetheless, beautiful piece and playing.

I think you may be right that Bortkiewicz may have been thinking of that Scriabin Etude.  For me personally, it always reminded me a bit of Chopin's famous E Minor Prelude, and I actually recorded them together to see if people might pick up on the similarity of the main motifs, meter, etc.

Good observation, though.  And thank you for listening.

Well played! It has an almost elegiacal quality to it. Another of these pieces that makes me think I really need to look at his output more.
