so worthwhile- you are lucky- I used to play this until I broke my left wrist- there is no music written for right hand alone- it does not work- and now I do not have the strength- I just love this music
The prelude has such a lamenting, aching melody. It almost makes the picardy third at the end seem like a “fake” happy ending. The sadness doesn’t feel resolved. I wish that I could explain this feeling that I have about this piece better.
I'm not the biggest fan of Sokolov but these two pieces were played magnificiently. I love the nocturne for the left hand, the final part of it is just amazing to hear. Wonderful.
Intense grief followed by languid foreplay... Scriabin is, to me at least, the Third Musketeer to Beethoven and Chopin, with perhaps, Charles Ives as their D'Artagnan.
All this wasn’t possible without Bach I’ll be honest. Bach revolutionized keyboard music to what we have it as today. Without Bach we would have no Chopin, Beethoven, Liszt, Mozart, none of the great masters of the modern age. Without Bachs proposed tuning system we wouldn’t have the ability to play in half of the keys we play today. Bach is key to this all
He'd get a lot of flak if he played two pieces intended for left hand only with both hands. He's too good a pianist to have to resort to such tactics anyway. However, in preparing this piece for performance, I highly recommend learning the melodic line with the right hand as a way of 'teaching' your left hand (if it's the non-dominant hand) how to shape the melody. In fact, that's something I recommend for any pianist that struggles with left hand passagework. We are often more "in tune" with our right hand, since it tends to carry the melodic workload, so it's often good to let that hand explore the left hand passagework. You'd be amazed what you can uncover by doing that a few times.
I don't think is was Scriabin, but some composer wrote some music for a pianist who lost his right hand, maybe after Scriabin died. I KNOW that happened, but I don't think Scriabin wrote that music. Someone who knows, please help.
@@mikekevitt1322 Is the composer Ravel? He wrote a left hand concerto for a pianist who had lost his right hand during the WWI. However, I think this work (Op.9) is probably composed by Scriabin.
@@grahamthomason8796 The funny thing is that Prokofiev and Ravel wrote their left-hand concerto for the request from same pianist. BTW, Ravel's concerto is much famous, and it is an interesting piece you should check it out.
@@ziegunerweiser Yes, your right. I am listening to this for an essay homework and it is soooooooo hard to imagine... Good thing I have the sheet music in this video.
Listening to the nocturne makes me so anxious. It's a nocturne for crying out loud. Why does he pound as though it's some concert etude? I can't find a good enough recording of this piece, where the pianist understands it well enough to play. Each recording I've found has a pianist who is technically qualified, but does not speak music well enough to play it. My thoughts and my opinion though.

Always nice to discover more reasons to love Scriabin.
Those with perfect pitch reveal yourself! :O
haha, i don't have perfect pitch, but i realized it was a bit flat. Tonal memory i guess
Lol I was thinking playing with the music realizing that it was around 3/4 steps flat 🙉
@@authenticmusic4815 Same, my piano at home's flat, and that's what I'm used to.
I don’t have perfect pitch but I was playing my piano at the same time and WTF is wrong with my piano?!?! And am I reading a fake score? 😂
Me!
I am a pianist who recently injured my right hand so looks like I will working on this playing these beauties...
Feona Lee Jones I feel for you. I get carpal tunnel and it is not fun.

@@darklady2002 There's a small handful of right hand solo pieces but none of it accessible without a godlike technique
Same, I feel ya
I broke my right middle finger last week. It really sucks but this piece has been a lot of fun for me.

@@iandimundo5172 i v
Yea me too. I call it bittersweet feel. And its such a typical Scriabin))
The Prelude is honestly amazing. So little motifs but so much colours and moods
Such rich and wonderful music. And what a discovery to hear it played by Sokolov! Thanks for posting!
Sokolov joue admirablement (quel toucher !) ces deux merveilleuses pièces, en leur donnant une couleur onirique rarement entendue.
Alekszandr Szkrjabin:Prelűd és Nöktürn bal kézre Op.9
1.Prelűd 00:10
2.Noktürn 02:44
Grigorij Sokolov-zongora
Köszönöm az értékelést
Красивая прелюдия. Прекрасное исполнение, лирический шедевр.
I'm not the biggest fan of Sokolov but these two pieces were played magnificiently. I love the nocturne for the left hand, the final part of it is just amazing to hear. Wonderful.
Beautiful and sensible interpretation, rich touch and nice agogic.
Феноменально и нет слов ! БРАВО !
i appreciate the random blues lick at around 5:00
This song for left hand sounds like other songs played with both hands. All four singing voices are present. Just amazing. New subscriber here. 💕
THANK YOU!!..
Спасибо
Extremamente profundo e belo. Incomparável.
I always loved the smell of this piece.
Smells almost blue with a hint or purple and white.
why is it a semitone flat?
Not sure, I guess it's an artifact from the recording, made by someone in the audience.
I would presume somebody sped it down, but then it still sounds good lol!
Ganja Mozart Yes. I have perfect pitch and I am pretty sure it is a semitone flat
Chelsea lol i was trying to play along and ofcourse this happens lol
Ganja Mozart I'm pretty sure its tuned to 432 hz
Isso é vida, alma e espirito.
I’d have trouble playing this with BOTH my hands
lmao
i have played this before.this is not difficult.if put it to simple,only need level of 740 needed
@@Cosimo-composer what kind of levelling system is that?
@@j2bigd590 Czerny op.740,normal level
AHAHAAHHAHAHAHAHAHA
you're right! Amazing.. Similar to Ravel's piano concerto for the left hand.
Yes! Happy that you like it :)
Except this is music, while ravel's is not.
@@Whatismusic123 never thought in my life that I'd see Ravel haters out there
@@joeyhardin5903 why? He's completely incompetent
@@Whatismusic123You are a joke
22 year Scriabin was.. sad.
Fantástico me he lesionado la mano derecha y estoy estudiando estas obras.
A bit like Chopin op 28 no 4
scottbos68 It seems like op.25 no.7.
Why is this sounding a whole step lower than written?
This sounds like Chopin

the prelude sounds quite silimlar to LOVE by nat king cole
The key doesn't sound right. Is this a digitized LP recording spun at a wrong rpm?
Is he playing this with one hand??
yes

The Prelude is in c#, not C#.
Same thing
1:10 that is how you create a transition
Faulkner....very clever, dear acolyte of our (?) ....
Scriabin: I wrote a piece for only one hand.
John Cage: Hold my beer...
This isn't flat its altered
is it in lower key?
+Paolo Rico Lacaba No I think something happened to the recording, so it sounds like he isn't playing at the correct pitch.
+olla-vogala oh I see. I appreciate your reply. Thanks for sharing this vid. :)
Paolo Rico Lacaba I think its tuned to 432 hz
sounds like baroque tuning
Re-echoes the Do😢
I wonder if this is what inspired Godowsky to write for the left hand?
+scottbos68 Yes, that could be possible. I find these pieces far more musical than any LH piece Godowsky ever wrote though :)
It's really difficult to imagine all this music coming from only one hand.
I mean - maybe but there is so many composers how have written before this pieces fo the lh alone so doubtfull.
@@ziegunerweiser Yes, your right. I am listening to this for an essay homework and it is soooooooo hard to imagine... Good thing I have the sheet music in this video.
Sounds similar to Chopin's Etude 25/7.
For those without perfect pitch, compare to this recording and be blown away by the difference... ruclips.net/video/a6rfb6gNEyE/видео.html
a half step flat!
Thisis possible with one hand? Doesnt look that easy with teo hands lol
though the performance is good, semitone flat... really disappointed.
Listening to the nocturne makes me so anxious. It's a nocturne for crying out loud. Why does he pound as though it's some concert etude?

You're delusional, and blame it on the performer.
semitone flat? oh, this nocturne is a C key
This is not Sokolov.
Don’t believe it’s Sokolov
ピッチが…
ピッチはこれで全然問題ないですよ(*⃙⃘ˊ꒳ˋ*⃙)
聴く限り19世紀辺りのピアノを使用していると思うで、これが古風な音色何だな〜って思って貰って問題ないと思いますw
A schiabriiiin.... Ma chi seiiii!!!
piano needs tuning
This is impossible to play with just one hand.
It is possible
Nocturne for left hand....
But cant play RH lol. Fuck tenths
Horrible interpretation. He knows how to mash the entire time.
Shut the f up, play better
Such rich and wonderful music. And what a discovery to hear it played by Sokolov! Thanks for posting!
