This prelude is Op. 16 No. 1. Oh, and I made a "Top 10" easier Scriabin prelude series, which you may also enjoy. Here it is! ruclips.net/video/Sf47sVaL1Q4/видео.html
This sounds so lovely! This piece has such a weightless quality to it, and I really enjoyed how you performed it and made it sound so floaty and dreamy. Beautiful job!
my favourite is the n.5 which has quite difficult bars in which a legato descending arpeggio on the right ends in a chord, and has to be played fast (that's ok) and pianissimo (difficult at that speed)
Thanks, I look forward to hearing it on your channel! Haha. That's a great nocturne. Scriabin had various injuries affecting his right hand when he was young, and I think his left hand writing ended up much more interesting as a result. I'll be posting more Scriabin in the coming weeks, so stay tuned!
Thank you Marc. Your playing of Op 16, No 1 is exquisite! I love your comments along the way. I would add Op 17, No 3 to the list of lovely ones. I've just begun working on it and am really liking it!
Thanks. I’ve never paid much attention to Op. 17 No. 3, but now that you mention it, it is intriguing! Nice chord progressions, and the faster sections remind me of some parts of Scriabin’s earlier piano sonatas. Do you have a favorite performance of it?
I've only listened to one performance of it, from newFFL3 channel. I listened mainly to get an idea of tempo and how that faster section should sound. I love that so many of his preludes take up only one page or else two facing pages! The brevity of many of his preludes is analogous (imo) to very brief poems that pack a lot of meaning into very few words.
A ha, that’s Zarafiants. He’s consistently good, I find. I listened to a few other recordings and found that Sofronitsky does especially good work with Op 17 no 3-he manages the tension and momentum well. Agreed, also, about the amount of meaning Scriabin packs into such small works. I picked out my 10 favorite ones and recorded them recently…will hopefully finish editing in the next week.
@@MarcPlaysPiano Thank you! I will check out Sofronitsky's recording of 17/3. And I look forward to hearing your recording of your favorite 10 when you release it--both to find out which ones made your list, and also to hear your interpretations of them!
So, I decided against doing a top 10 in one video, and went in favor of releasing a playlist of the 10 on a weekly basis. Here's the first of the series: ruclips.net/video/Sf47sVaL1Q4/видео.html :)
I’ve never paid attention to op. 11 no. 21, but now that you mention it…I think it’s lovely, and will need to learn it, haha. Question: what would you say makes it so good? I’m having difficulty putting words to it.
@@MarcPlaysPiano I don’t really know why but when I first listened to this prelude it immediately became a favourite of mine. It has a pensive, meditative feel to it that I couldn’t really explain. I feel like it also has something to do with the harmony, the way the meter changes throughout and the fact that the left hand is mainly written in treble clef.
After your recommendation, I learned op. 11 no. 21 and just published it: ruclips.net/video/Sf47sVaL1Q4/видео.html I gave you a shout out at the beginning. Thanks! :)
That's a good point! Funny to see some similarities between the two pieces. I dream of learning the fantasy some day, but for now I'm too scared, haha. >.
Awesome you play this one, too! Would be cool to hear you play it. I haven't ever paid attention to op. 31 no. 1, but I just gave it a listen and enjoyed it. My knee-jerk thought: It has glimmers of some of the great moments of his earlier sonatas. Why do you like the piece? I'm always curious about how people describe Scriabin's more unusual preludes.
This is one of those preludes I listen to on repeat. Are there any you'd say are more lovely than this one? If yes, I'd love to see your recommendations. (And, stay tuned; I plan to do more lovely Scriabin works in the coming months.) P.S. Enjoy Scriabin head cameo at the end. I'm playing around with keyframes, lol. 👽
The b minor fantasy is one of my all-time favorites (I love what Lazar Berman does with it)...I dream of being able to play it some day! A very daunting piece, though. 😅
@@Ivan_1791 That’s a really cool one…I’ve wanted to learn it ever since I saw this video by En Blanc et Noir: ruclips.net/video/ySWyg85r-5w/видео.htmlsi=prBN6WmmQSXEG227 Will get around to it in the next year hopefully!
@@MarcPlaysPiano I didn't know this video. Thank you very much for sharing! I really recommend Nick Bacchetto's analysis on the piece, which comes with interpretation advice (he simply plays as it should be played). I even quoted this prelude in my last composition in Bb minor.

Sure I love this one! With many other preludes of Scriabin. Op. 16 contains my favorite ones.
I'm a simple man. I see Scriabin, I subscribe and binge-watch your videos.
@@zekeyeager445 Thanks, I hope you like them! There’s more Scriabin on the way. 😊
I’m a simple man. I see OMORI pfp. I like your comment.
@@mr.hashundredsofprivatepla3711I’m a simple man. I see a wholesome reply, I like your reply.
I know this one, it’s really gorgeous!!!! You play it enchantingly ✨
Thank you! :)
16 1, 17 3, 15 4 and 11 15 are all incredibly beautiful.
So is your playing!
Thanks, I'll need to listen to 17 3 and 15 4 again! I actually just published 11 15 here--you might enjoy it: ruclips.net/video/fYxnVO9SBOI/видео.html
Yes its a lovely Prelude, one of my favourites next to op. 11 No. 11
this one is almost achingly beautiful, one of the pieces after which I fell in love with Scriabin's music, really nice playing and interpretation!
Thanks, I’m glad you enjoyed it!
A revelation....beautiful!!
Love the ending, thinking about putting this piece on a recital now. Op. 11 no. 11 in B major is also really good
I absolutely love this prelude. Beautiful interpretation :)
I’m glad you enjoyed it! Thank you. :)
This sounds so lovely! This piece has such a weightless quality to it, and I really enjoyed how you performed it and made it sound so floaty and dreamy. Beautiful job!
Thanks! You could copy this prelude's left hand pattern in one of your arrangements if you're ever going for that dreamy floaty feeling...haha.
I like to play a beautiful prelude.
Thanks.
❤
my favourite is the n.5 which has quite difficult bars in which a legato descending arpeggio on the right ends in a chord, and has to be played fast (that's ok) and pianissimo (difficult at that speed)
Beautiful prelude.
Opus 16.
I love Scriabin's music.
Wowowow, gooooorgeous piece, and very considered playing, loved it!
Thanks, I’m glad you enjoyed it!
Beautiful playing!
Sounds wonderful🎶
Beautifully played. Your piano sounds beautifully balanced as well. What is the model?
Thanks! Glad you like the piano...It's a Brodmann CE175--got it new two years ago and I'm still loving it.
That's a really graceful performance yooo, you played it so effortlessly!
Thanks! 😊
Beautiful! I’m working on my first Scriabin piece - the nocturne for the left hand. Going to get into his music in a big way I think!
Thanks, I look forward to hearing it on your channel! Haha.
That's a great nocturne. Scriabin had various injuries affecting his right hand when he was young, and I think his left hand writing ended up much more interesting as a result.

제가 너무나 좋아한 Scriabin의 곡이네요
당신의 연주에 품격이 있네요
너무 아름다워요😊
정말 감사합니다! 즐겁게 감상해주셔서 기뻐요.
So beautiful

I love all his Op 16 preludes but this is my favorite! The LH phrases built into those wide arpeggios are gorgeous. Beautiful job!
This one sounds romantic to me. Not sure why. Or at the least it's bittersweet
Another Scriabin gem
This is one of my favourite preludes too!
The one that I would recommend is Prelude op. 11 no. 21, an absolute gem!
I’ve never paid attention to op. 11 no. 21, but now that you mention it…I think it’s lovely, and will need to learn it, haha. Question: what would you say makes it so good? I’m having difficulty putting words to it.

@@MarcPlaysPiano oh thank you! I'm going to take a look at it straightaway!
Reminds me of that theme in his b minor fantasy
That's a good point! Funny to see some similarities between the two pieces. I dream of learning the fantasy some day, but for now I'm too scared, haha. >.
I've been playing this one for years. It is a gorgeous piece, one of the very best. Have you played op 31 number 1?
Awesome you play this one, too! Would be cool to hear you play it.
I haven't ever paid attention to op. 31 no. 1, but I just gave it a listen and enjoyed it. My knee-jerk thought: It has glimmers of some of the great moments of his earlier sonatas. Why do you like the piece? I'm always curious about how people describe Scriabin's more unusual preludes.
@@MarcPlaysPiano To me it almost has an american like feel, sorta ragish, but in that ethereal Scriabin way. Kind of utopic.
@@MarcPlaysPiano Probably my favorite slow Scriabin miniature is his etude op 42 no 4.
This is one of those preludes I listen to on repeat. Are there any you'd say are more lovely than this one? If yes, I'd love to see your recommendations. (And, stay tuned; I plan to do more lovely Scriabin works in the coming months.)
P.S. Enjoy Scriabin head cameo at the end. I'm playing around with keyframes, lol. 👽
In terms of loveliness, it’s a toss up between this one and op. 11 no. 11 for me
I guessed it was this one by your hand position in the thumbnail 😀 beautiful set
Haha, wow. Not many in this world would be able to make such a deduction…For that you get a special trophy! 🏆
I called it that you'd play this!
Haha, nice work!
It looks a bit like his Fantasy in B minor
The b minor fantasy is one of my all-time favorites (I love what Lazar Berman does with it)...I dream of being able to play it some day! A very daunting piece, though. 😅
It's a very difficult work in musicality and being poetic.
Thanks for your wonderful video, I think you are missing something while uploading your video.
Best prelude in my opinion is Op.37 No.1
@@Ivan_1791 That’s a really cool one…I’ve wanted to learn it ever since I saw this video by En Blanc et Noir: ruclips.net/video/ySWyg85r-5w/видео.htmlsi=prBN6WmmQSXEG227
