Piano Street Magazine:
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.

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

HELP! Difficulties in playing TURNS ornaments

on: February 24, 2015, 05:59:01 AM

Hello I'm currently working on Mozarts Sonata in D k311 and having real difficulties playing ornaments especially turns

.. I'm really hoping for an answer as my ATCL diploma exam is just round the corner ..

I understand that it must be played with a light touch but despite that I'm still not able to play it cleanly and with perfect evenness ..
besides than playing slowly then speed it up, anybody has other good tips or techniques regarding this matter ?
I get really discouraged whenever I heard myself playing it in recording and really hope I can find a perfect solution for this ..
