Scriabin Alternate Version of Etudes

[Joseph_Hoffman]

Hello Everybody,

I am giving a recital of the complete op. 11 preludes and the complete op. 8 etudes of Scriabin.

In terms of an encore, I was thinking of playing the rare 2nd version of the D# minor, op. 8, no. 12, etude. It is really very different from the original version and it is really very beautiful.

I was wondering, is anybody else familiar with it or has played it?

I have a recording of it by Ponti if anybody is interested.
Give me an e-mail at [email protected] if you are interested.

Also, I believe that there is a Sofronitsky recording of it. Does anybody have this? I would LOVE a copy.

Cheers

No this is not true. I have a recording of the 2nd version. If you wish to buy, go to www.ebay.com

really?

so why is the 1st one so overwhelmingly more popular?

In my opinion, the second is far superior.

Jo. I sent you an email, I've never heard this second version, and I'm extremely curious.

My hat's off to you for even considering doing both versions in the same recital!  Will you play both memorized?

I just looked at the score for the 2nd version -- I'd be interested in hearing a recording if you have one!
