Hey all, my first post....I've been on PW for a few months was referred here. Nice to see some familiar names! 👋
I've been recording my favorite Scriabin preludes lately. Here's Op. 11 No. 15:
Tempo might have been a little faster than marked--I had a hard time making the piece hold together playing it slower. The left hand pattern was a bit tricky, as playing the two notes at slightly different times makes a ba-dump rhythm that totally ruins the feel of the piece. Feedback welcome of course...I'm just an amateur that plays for fun.

    MarcPlaysPiano changed the title to Scriabin Op. 11 No. 15 (And, first post from Piano World migrant) .

    Hi

    Well played - I have the music for quite a few Scriabin preludes and hadn't tried this one.
    It's a lovely piece.

    Cheers

    Thanks for posting your recording, I really enjoyed your performance and reading the info that you wrote in your video.

    Thanks Josephine!

    And thanks, navindra. I'm glad you appreciated the notes...I figure that if I annotate the videos a bit, people might enjoy the music more. It's happened to me various times: someone will point out to me something interesting to see/listen for in a piece, and suddenly, I end up loving the piece, even though I had heard the piece various times before and never liked it. I'm thinking that this is partly because of the "you only hear what you understand" idea (attributed to Goethe, whose works I should probably read someday).
