A romantic russian piece under 10 min for a competition

[shoenberg3]

My very informative title says it all. I am thinking in line of Dumka, islamey, but excluding this pieces.
This is for a competition that only allows music that is 10 min or less. I playing specifically Russian Romantic, since another competition specifically asks for this repertoire.

I am looking for a piece that is about the samel level as Prokofiev and scriabin sonatas etc. Somepiece with great technical difficulty but also with musical parts.

Also, can you tell me which scriabin sonatas are suitable for this purpose? (I'm not too familiar with them)

Thanks in advance!

Do Scriabin F sharp  Sonata Op30 No1: Andante + no2: Prestissimo Volando. Crush your competition lol. If you make it your own, then big  from me

you can listen to scriabin himself play it and the PDF is there too. Even though he was a great pianist you can even hear him struggle under it, or is it the piano?  lol.

op 30 is the only "romantic" Scriabin sonata under 10 min but I think Scriabins 9th sonata op68 "black mass" is very interresting to play. it is very lugubre dark and different
(and difficult) If you learn it  I´d say you should end it in about 7min - 7min 20 sek

Yeah, Scriabin's Op. 30 No. 4 in F-sharp is a mother. I heard one of my old piano teachers play it at a recital once, and it slayed. It was one of those things where I went directly from the concert to the practice room to shed for 5 hours because I felt so inadequate.



Dude, where's my car?,

It's funny, because Sonata No. 4 is what I just was going to try. I bought the sheets just right now, and soon I will try my hand at it. Wish me luck!

Any other suggestions will be great

Scriabin's op.28 Fantaisie is also a great piece.

Best of luck with the scriabin, if you have anything in that you wanna look into do say! It would be great stuff to open for discussion.

The Scriabin B min fantasy is Gorgeous - on of my favourite pieces the big melody is so full of pathos when it comes steaming in towards the end. no4 sonata is great too but very tough geographically. Prokofiev sonata 1 may just be short enough (in one mvt). There is an interesting toccata by Eshpay which is not so well know and sounds a bit like islamey and is almost as difficult.
