Piano Teacher in New Jersey Releases Scriabin's Left Hand Exercises Music Tutorial

Oct. 3, 2009 - PRLog -- With thousands of music articles released yearly, the task of finding a quick resource can be daunting to even the most devoted music lover. Now, thanks to New Jersey Piano Lessons online articles, piano students and music lovers can find concise classical music articles, all just a mouse-click away.

The newly published tutorial, “Scriabin's Left Hand Exercises,” gives readers a glimpse of the history behind Scriabin’s compositions, reviews selected piano works by the great composer, and offers pianists recommendations to mastering Scriabin’s left hand technique.

This classical music tutorial provides quick, detailed information about the influence of Chopin on Scriabin’s style and technique, as well as a review of his phrasing and articulation. The article points out keys to interpreting Scriabin’s scores and harmonic structure, giving readers a glimpse into the power of Scriabin’s deeply emotional pianism. The tutorial shows readers what to expect when playing select concertos, sonatas, etudes, and preludes composed by Scriabin.

“Scriabin requires a strong left hand,” comments New Jersey Piano Lessons owner, Barbara Ehrlich at http://www.piano-nj.com/mission-barbara.html.  “It’s highly recommended to strengthen the left hand with left-hand piano exercises when attempting this composer’s works.  It’s among the most original piano music composed in Russia during the first half of the 20th century.”

Scriabin’s works often call for an imaginative use of the pedals to express the unheard tones between the keys, according to this tremendous composer.  A contemporary once remarked, "Scriabin's music depends on the pedal effects of the modern grand piano, which dominates all his musical thoughts."  Pianists inclined to Classicism are frequently challenged by Scriabin’s controversial technique, but those inspired by pianistic depth and challenge will find the sheer magnitude of Scriabin deeply absorbing.
