Absolutely exquisite playing. This is the right way to play this difficult and subtle music, in the real Russian tradition. My own teacher John Bingham was a Neuhaus pupil and he would have loved your interpretation.

@whythewar1 No, they didn't. Scriabin had written this nocturne some 36 years before Ravel wrote his left-hand concerto. The practice of writing for piano one-hand had existed at least since Karl Czerny, Ravel was anything but pioneer in this respect.

@retrogamerdave Well, we've evidences that Scriabin perceived his 'right-arm-ingjury period' as that of a struggle against fate, wherein he fought also by writing and playing music and won.
-
@sergeypiano and it's a historical fact that Scriabin hurt his right hand at the conservatory because he over practiced Mozart's don juan fantasy. The historical question is if this injury was truly the catalyst for scriabin to write left-handed pieces.

anybody else think the yamaha he's playing sounds like a steinway?

@sergeypiano My son Dr. Seth Darst was given
(at age 14) this piece when he broke a bone in his right hand hitting his brother! I loved it and then learned it as well.

The piano is already amazing at just one hand.. just wow
-
When I heard it for the first time, I had to close my eyes. It was on a presentation and I didn't know it before that it's only for the left hand, so I wondered because it sounds like it is played with both hands.
And it's still beautiful!



Beautiful beautiful performance!
