Compressed fragments of late 19th century Romantics put through Igor's diamond sharp colidascopic intellect. This is the best of post classicism like TS Elliot.
After his recital in Budapest, I met pianist Takuma Onodera and asked him if he could recommend a piece that wasn't too well known. He recommended Stravinsky's 4 etudes. I'm very excited to hear them
No way!!! It's Victor Sangiorgio!! He participated in the Tchaikovsky competition like 40 years ago and played the D major Mozart sonata so memorably! What are the odds I hear him again here playing a not frequently played piece.
I'd say the 4th one is already Stravinsky, not Sriabin, nor Debussy (even though Debussy has his General Lavine eccentric) -- weird polyrithms and accents in unexpected places, reminding us of Petrushka, but originating in Russian folk songs (and also Mussorgsky).
dAvrilthebear it's extremely difficult piano writing, still in a post-Romantic idiom like Scriabin or late Faure. I'll have to say it's purposeful, even if challenging to play or even listen to. I like it and wish that Stravinsky had continue to compose in this style.
I am a bit surprised. I didn't remember that large sections of #4 truly are almost like they were lifted directly from Rachmaninov’s Etude Tableau op. 39 no. 6 in A minor.
Fascinating pieces - the first reminds of Scriabin, the second is quite original - barely discernible hints of 19th century aesthetic, the 3rd reminds of late romantic (Scriabin) again, and the 4th - very original - - I wouldn't want to tackle that one. Stravinsky composed/published these in 1908 and Prokofiev published his 4 etudes (opus 2) in 1909.
As someone who's played nom 2 and learning no. 4, 2 is the one that definitely shouldn't be tackled, 4 is much easier than it looks while 2 is the opposite😂
This song leaves me nostalgic of my college days, for my girlfriend would always play this song after we copulated in her dorm. When we were done she’d reach over my sweaty chest, and panting heavily, hit the tape. Then we would both state at each other in a mutually euphoric silence, dreaming into each other’s eyes amid the beautiful combination of the many smells in the air, and of course, Stravinsky’s Four Etudes
Stravinsky is somewhere in hell right now stroking his kitty (And penis) imagining his music mixing with the stench sex musk of your earliest and most uncomfortable sexual experiences
@@SCRIABINISTForgive me, I didn't mean to say that the score is complex. Stravinsky cleaned Scriabin's style from an excessive use of modulations which breaks the tension-relaxation system that supports music in all its forms. This first study makes Stravinsky more Scriabin than Scriabin himself.
The last one is absolutely incredible
Да, очень яркое perpetuum mobile, ещё и в фа-диез мажоре))) Мой любимый из этюдов ор.7)))
Yes. Reminds a lot of Liszt's feud follets too

The second one reminds me of Szymanowski Op. 4 No. 2, also the fourth one is so good!
Sounds a great deal like early Scriabin. Some of the configurations are almost the same even.

The first one is definitely an extension from Op.42 No.2
@@dAvrilthebear I think Rachmaninoff took inspiration from this piece in Op.39 No.6, but who knows
Hermosa obra como todo el repertorio del maestro Stravinsky. Saludos / Greetings from CDMX.

Fine, you beat me to it, my good sir, but thank you, nonetheless. :D
+thenameisgsarci Sorry I keep nicking your uploads! Hope you enjoyed the video anyway. I absolutely adore the 4th etude!
Each etude explores unique sets of polyrhythms.
Gorgeous. Thank you for sharing.

The bassline at 6:58 is like a direct copy of the presto section lol
The similarity is a little uncanny given that the Stravinsky Etudes were written nearly a decade earlier than Rachmaninov's Op. 39.
The similarity is undeniable. No doubt Rachmaninov knew of Stravinsky's work.
A difficult piece performed by a very fine pianist.

GRAND MASTER nobody needed that... but glad u got something out of these pieces
Noice🤙
bataillesque
Stravinsky is somewhere in hell right now stroking his kitty (And penis) imagining his music mixing with the stench sex musk of your earliest and most uncomfortable sexual experiences
cuh what?
The last etude (Vivo) reminds me of a SPOOF of Rachmaninoff's "Little Red Riding Hood" Etude-Tableau. lol.
Me pregunto cómo estudiar y memorizar esas piezas....
THANK YOU!!!...
Ottimo ottima esecuzione il secondo è quasi in eseguibile
6:32 Offenbach's Can Can
except when Offenbach was drunk and just smashed the piano keys in their general vicinity
Dang the rhythm on the first one
The fourth etude is really amusing, but it looks like a nightmare to play!
Он в жанре perpetuum mobile, любимый из этого опуса)))
bravo Victor
No.1 is almost a copy of Scriabin etude op42 no2
As Stravinsky said himself “lesser artists borrow, great artists steal”
Chord at 1:00 wow what is it...
Definitely influenced by Scriabin's Op.42
Yes, with the difference that Scriabin's work is just finger training with no form.
@@andreamontevecchi6649 reread the score and just look at it, it's nothing complicated. scriabin's etudes have form

These are etudes? What are they studies of? How good Stravinsky was at piano?
1:18 1:19 thank you
Am beste Tempo, fuer die einartige Musik, 72 fuer Vierter Etude; 60 fuer Dritte...
Number 4 sounds like an early draft of Petrushka
0:27 giant steps lol
I can't even believe a human is even playing these. The score looks impossibly difficult.
They're incredibly hard but hardly more so than the Debussy études IMHO
I agree, they aren't more difficult than the Debussy etudes.
N° 4 Rag time...?
György Ligeti Études for piano, book 1, No.1.
Is it jazz?
No.
It could be
Complex harmonies≠Jazz
Jonas Katona Oh, thank you.
All the things jazz is
This is what people who don't like Scriabin claim him to sound like
1 is incredible
Rubato won't excuse you for not learning how to play 3 against 5 :)
It's really pretty, but all that could be better...
Hahaha
Oh, please, I'm sorry, but a little bit underated interpretation!
I guess original interpretation was so better.
The typewriter playing these should be thrown out. Awful.
What
