ALEXANDER SCRIABIN: COMPLETE PRELUDES AND ETUDES FOR PIANOFORTE SOLO PIANO

For those, like me looking to explore the piano music of Scriabin this is a must have and is a steal at this price. The book is nicely presented, it lies pretty much flat at the piano and there is a real range of difficulties in the pieces - I'd say from about grade 4 ABRSM to virtuoso standard. Found in Scriabin's music are moments of beauty, dissonance, rich harmony and intricate melodies. Buy this!

This is one complete book of the Scriabin preludes and etudes for piano. The contents are well documented by the Amazon 'Look Inside' link, The print and paper quality of this book are very good. My book is used and the binding is in excellent condition. The book is an improved republication of the Breitkopf & Hartel edition with larger note heads and more space for entering notes and your own fingering as no fingering is in the print. This edition series by Dover takes the original four volumes and puts them into a very convenient set of two volumes.You can find many of these pieces for the piano solos at IMSLP.org.

Da consultare

Muito satisfeito!Como outros livros da Dover, tem seus defeitos: O papel, a impressão e a brochura não são da melhor qualidade (Como edições "de luxo" como a Henle), e é apenas uma reimpressão de edições antigas.Não tive nenhum problema bizarro como folhas em branco ou com impressões misturadas.

Cuando compré este libro, estaba seguro de que la impresión sería óptima, tal como se ve en casi todas las ediciones musicales de Dover antiguas. El libro que me llegó resultó ser una reimpresión de mala calidad, que se ve doble y defectuosa. Por suerte, cada segunda página al menos está bien. Pero para leer, la mitad del libro, y bien las notas, duele a los ojos y no es claro. No recomiendo este libro, a pesar de que es nuevo. Lástima que la edición vieja del libro ya esté descatalogada y solo se pueda encontrar en algunas tiendas de música...
