Skrjabin Op8No5
on: October 16, 2022, 03:33:44 PM
Hello all,
I have decided to learn this greatly underappreciated work of music (at least in my opinion). Two bars in, and throughout this piece, there are chords which are tenths and greater. My left hand can barely reach a tenth, and apparently Skrjabin could reach a ninth and no further. The Henle edition I have doesn't include any information on whether the chords should be rolled, and I can't seem to discern if the chords are rolled fast or played together in Ricter's recording. I'm assuming it's fine to roll these chords quickly?

Yes, it's taken for granted that you roll or otherwise break big chords in Scriabin for the reasons you mention.
