This one is marked Presto, however played by the performer as Allegro (except in the ending) - pls sample the performance of Michael Ponti to see what the composer really intended! As with many Scriabin performances of Mr Zarafiants he seems to lack the technique required of a "Scriabin performer". Ponti's renditions seem far better...

Can someone explain what is going on with the bass? It says 2/4 but there's two extra eighth notes. Am I missing something?

theyre triplets, but they don’t have the 3 over them. you can tell because theyre barred in groups of 3. polyrhythms are so pervasive in scriabin’s preludes that he often simply wont mark them, especially if it’s very clear from the grouping.

It's presto..

The below opinion shames me and is laughable, I know. It's just...you should HEAR some players from the past! I know it's plebian, but I'm glad people are slowing some of his pieces down a tad these days. Please don't yell at me! It's just...listen to an old recording of, say, the 4th Sonata. Buried under the noise in the end, for instance, is toe-curling beauty, and the only guy who dares slow it down so we can swoon is Pletnev. I would have blown it off, had I not been turned on by P.

I've given a lot of thought to music, musicians and composer's work almost 50 years of piano playing and listening to music, and I've come to an admittedly unsupportable opinion, informed only by age and experience: sometimes composers don't understand aspects of their own work. Purists play/ed him as he notated and played a lot of his work--one long smeared BANG, hiding lush beauty and emotion in the noise. No wonder he fell out of popularity and is only now being rediscovered en masse.
