This part gives me so much trouble! I use 135 for the first “e minor” inversion. I will try using 245 instead, thank you! Time to take a slower tempo as well leading into “Allegro” 😅
Best of luck! * disclaimer: it might take time to get used to this, don’t despair if it doesn’t work right away. Push off and let go of the chord, use wrist rotation 😎
Beautiful! I generally don't like listening to piano transcriptions of orchestral works because they're missing the timbres. Your performance, however, is quite rich and colorful, not to mention exquisite musicality.
@@ElinaAkselrud I was always under the impression that the 7th was the most popular of the late sonatas. I think it’s because I’ve seen so many jokes and memes about that gigantic chord at the end of it. It seems I was wrong.
Very very good. The Sonata no.8 I've listened to in the past on the other performances has only been boring, but here I feel the true meaning of this music. Scriabin said that this sonata is not polyphonic like Bach, but homophony, with the sounds appearing together. Here, I feel that this music is irrational but transcendent, and its notes seem to span space and flow in the long river of pure time.
The sound of this piano is very thick, but not muddy and very clear, which seems to be very suitable for Scriabin's music. In comparison, the Steinway piano, which doesn't sound thick at all and is very crisp, is just terrible.🙄
My piano has a very unique action. It’s really good, but a bit weird in a way - the sound is very ‘thick’, absolutely, and it’s extremely tough to play. After this one, it’s super easy on a Steinway though, let alone Fazioli 😎
@@ElinaAkselrud sorry I wasn't clear Actually I'm working on a circle of etudes for piano and video projector at the moment and the first worldwide concert is already booked for Vienna I studied your technique and I think you can be the ideal performer for the studio recording let me know please
@@KristaporAttarian.Composer congratulations! Well for any concrete project proposals please contact me via the form on my website with clear descriptions, T&C, and offers. All the best!
Amazing! Flawless light invisible technically, but - communication between two of you makes this iconic piano literature piece unique, makes it very very YOURS!
You are a passionate extrovert, always giving all you have every time out; this is the characteristic of all great performers. We have enough cerebral analysis to last till kindom come. I sense you have robust potential on the biggest stages. This is natural for you, authentic to who you are.
You have an emotional, passionate style which stamps all your efforts, despite any other complexities in the music. Kudos; music should always be emotional/passionate, no matter how soft.
Thank you! I totally vouch for the emotions in music - otherwise it’s not alive! Just wrote an article, partially about that, submitted for review today… 🤞
I switch from 1 in the lh to 2 in the rh while it’s depressed to keep this voice. The silent depression is wild- I don’t think I have your touch to reliably control that, but I’ll have to try it! Appreciate all you’re sharing on the late sonatas.
That’s interesting. I don’t think I would have managed the RH legato this way.. 🤔😅 but thank you for the exchange! 🙏 The trick took me some time, it requires practice 😎
Brava!!! This is some really difficult music. You are very active with arm movement to get into position. Trills must be million dollar articulations. You feel it deeply, it's important to you; it shows. Beautiful show.
So far all my full lessons on the late Scriabin sonatas are in here: pianoskillsandmagic.teachable.com/p/alexander-scriabin-the-five-late-sonatas-nos-6-10-by-elina-akselrud
@@unknownportalmusic there is no ‘recipe’, it really depends on lots of factors, as well as the goals - to what extent one wants to bring it when one starts studying (the context) or learning (practicing) such a work. It’s always going to help the development at any stage though, from just listening with the score, playing the themes (Melody only), or tackling the entire texture on the piano and exploring how far one can go with the interpretation… what I can say for sure is that there are no disadvantages with a smart, optimized approach! 😎
I love your content. Although I can’t play this music just yet, I will surely be referring to you when I am ready to tackle them. Thanks so much for all you do!
Oh yeah, this one is kinda trippy. So, I read that Scriabin was being criticized for holding too much to the traditional forms in his early works. But to me, the 8th has a really puzzling form at the first hearing. And the entire piece is just so steady, make it really sounds enigmatic, and impossible to tell where this is going. Even sometimes I forgot how very long this piece is 😅
After all the themes of the expo have taken place he could have gone into the development. But he decided to start from the first theme once again and take another lap all over 😌 it happens sometimes 😅
@@ElinaAkselrud je préfères répondre en français, je me débrouilles mieux 😅 mais cette partie n'est-elle pas plutôt dans le développement ? La sonate est justement basée sur une forme très circulaire, qui reprend les thèmes principaux en ne les modifiant que très légèrement/changeant de " tonalité " ( ambigü chez Scriabine mais bon... )...
En considérant la partie de l'intro comme un premier thème et celle des quatres comme un deuxième, on peut dire que tout ce qui vient après est un développement autour de ces deux-là... ?
