KOJI!!! I NEED your help on Scriabin 10th Sonata!

on: May 30, 2005, 08:21:46 PM

Koji,

I am working on Scriabin's 10th Sonata and need to have it done by the 8th and I have hardly started it

$:-\$

I listened to your recording and it was absolutely remarkable.

So, I have a few questions:

1) What fingering do you use for the Allegro? How do you get the melody to come out? How did you get it up to speed? I am having to play this section remarkably slow. Could it be because I'm having to play it on an upright, I will play a grand at my lesson.

2) What fingering do you use for the left hand trills a couple measures after the notation: "with sudden joy"?

3) What techniques did you use for memorizing this piece imparticular?

4) Overall, do you predominately use 1-3 for the trills? ETC.

Thank you SOO much,
DLu

I'm not Koji. But in regard to fingerings. Try to check your library for the Peters edition. I referenced this when I learned the 5th Sonata, and found it has good suggestions.
