Scriabin Etude Op. 8 No. 12, Dora Jakovina

I really enjoyed this. The sound quality of the recording, I believe, does not do justice to the performance, which seemed to me to be very effective. I would love to hear you perform this live.

I can see you worked so hard on this. Congrats that you did it! Remember, this piece is not about power or speed, it is about the anguish, frustration, sadness, and beauty. If you slow it down a little, you may be able to add more sensitive emotion that swells up and down (really ease into the dynamic changes smoothly). The tension, release, and more flowing (rubato) tempo are what you need here. Hope that helps, and keep going! That shows true humility to post this online. Thanks!

Hey guys, she may not be the best pianist, but have a heart. She tried and I'm sure worked incredibly hard on this piece. She probably felt pretty confident about it too, otherwise, she wouldn't have allowed for her video to be posted. And then she comes on this site, hoping to hear all kinds of ooooohs and awes, but instead hears insults. Please try to provide constructive criticism in a more positive way that will encourage her rather than discourage her. Thanks.

she makes it looks so complicated n thats no good

crash,bang,whallop,oh what a picture...lol

you can really mistake her valentina lisista until she plays

left hand is like a hammer...dang dang dang...no music...the end is poor...where is the sound?...went to the store...

perfect and i dont understant people who dont like it ......

her timing is really bad. And, her interpretation lacks passion. It seems like she only cares about hitting the right keys. I don't hear Scriabin Etude Op. 8 No. 12.

Her timing is really bad in this piece. Just seems like she is trying to hit the right notes, very amateurish. Lacks expression and emotion. Scriabin Etude Op. 8 No. 12 is a favorite of mine, but I don't hear it here.
