Toward the Flame: Boris Petrushansky’s Journey Through Scriabin’s Universe

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

Favorite Chopin Prelude?
on: April 09, 2017, 02:07:19 AM
Just fell in love with these pieces for the first time ever!

No. 8, No. 12, No. 18, No. 19, No. 20, No. 21, and No. 24.

20 was the first Chopin piece I ever learned. And I absolutely love the Rachmaninoff Variations on that particular theme.

So, what are your favorite preludes?
Practicing:
Bach Chromatic Fantasie and Fugue
Beethoven Sonata Op. 10 No. 1
Shostakovich Preludes Op. 34
Scriabin Etude Op. 2 No. 1
Liszt Fantasie and Fugue on BACH
