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

Advice for learning Pavane pour une Infante Difunte
on: June 11, 2020, 10:44:22 PM
Greetings,

Since the last days, I wanted to learn Ravel's Pavane because for some reason it became an earworm for me, and I understand that learning a Ravel's piece can be very complicated, but I am doing my best to upgrade my piano level.

Until now I have played the next pieces last semester:
- Bach's Sinfonia 6 and 7
- Mozart's Sonata in a minor k 310
- Armengol's Cuban Dances 3 and 8
- Debussy's Gradus ad Parnassum, the Little Shepherd, Jimbo's Lullaby and Golliwogg's Cakewalk.

I played in the past Ravel's Menuet sur le nom d'Haydn (not sure how I get it, but i got it and it also started as an earworm), Chopin's Nocturne op 9 no 1, Debussy's Reverie, Haydn's Sonata Hob XVI no 27 in G major, and Bach's Sinfonias 1, 2 and 4.

I am not sure if I am ready for the Pavane, but what I want to know is if I can learn it like in the traditional way like other pieces, playing it with hand-separate.

Tips, advice and suggestions are welcome.

Note: the distance of my fingers reach an octave and barely a 9th interval (C5 to D6)
