Video: Scriabin Deux Poèmes Op.32 No.1 Andante Cantabile

Had a stab at interpreting this. Took a while to get the right feel for it. A couple of mistakes but did it in one take. Feedback appreciated!

I think that was excellent, and that you have the right idea for this piece!

On the pages where you have both a melody and sixteenths at the same time in the right hand, some of the melody notes blend into the accompaniment. I think you need to bring out all the notes that have their stems pointing up here. It's most often when you have a pattern going down-up, like f# - c# - f# in the melody. Make sure that we can hear that the c# belongs to the melody.

There were a few instances where the melody is in eighths going up to a quarter note where I thought you could take care to make the quarter note and its supporting harmony even more sultry, but really, I think you do this very well in most places.
