Cambry plays Scriabin Etude Op. 2, No. 1

I figured since I have a new piano now, I should start uploading plenty of videos and I will be doing it consistently, even new versions as well. Here is my first shot at the Scriabin Etude Op. 2, No. 1.

By the way, OBAMA '08! Vote for Barack Obama, support the performing arts!

Finally had some free time so I could watch a few of the videos you sent me. Your playing is definitely improving(not that it was bad before) I like the way you play this piece.

Thanks alot Jeffrey, where have you been man?

[Kryptykk]

thought I don't agree with your political leanings, your playing more than makes up for it. It is amazing how young Scriabin was when he wrote this, and that he able to put such emotion into it.

Thanks for keeping these classics alive!

I support Obama and the fact that he mentions "keeping the classics alive" and focusing on the fine and performing arts as part of his early childhood education plan which no other candidate in this race has mentioned once. My playing doesn't "make up" for it as I don't see any downside to my political leanings. It supports the desire to keep the classics and good music in general alive through our youth.

Hi, I just listened to your performance and I really liked the sound of your new piano=). Actually, what technique does this etude give you??

[PianoPlaya123]

I have no idea actually

[pno4tay]

Beautifully done. I especially like your overall sound, and the way your inner voices come and go without sounding too intrusive. Rubato is just right.

@Ainigma Maybe he's not German.

[StefaanHimpe]

Really nice version of this wonderful etude.

[ProteusX2]

fantastic

Your playing is very inspiring! I play this composition myself now, but I don't like my way of playing it very much. Great work!

[MISHA1119]

PianoPlaya123 Very, very fine - a heartfelt performance with exquisite rubatos and

marvelous sense of line. Ignore the dilettantes who ask why you didn't bring out this or that - you DID bring out this and that! Tiny suggestion: that last c# could be played more softly - make the piece evanesce into silence.. Scriabin at fourteen was incredible. I advocate myself what you did as things wind down to a close - a gradual ritardando, as if life itself were slowing down to its final moments.

I was looking for more interpretations of this etude and yours is spectacular! Thanks for offering another way to appreciate my favorite piece :].

It's lovely music thanks for sharing.

You've got this piece down beautifully! Great phrasing and sensitivity, your rubato is lovely. I didn't expect this from a guy dressed in an Adidas shirt and baseball hat! Love the way you play! Love your politics too and couldn't agree more. BTW, what kind of piano do you have? Nice tone!

[mickyear2008]

Wonderful phrasing and each note has a clear distinctive sound. You got did it. Thanks so much.
