Étude in D-Sharp minor, Op. 8 No. 12 is an étude for piano composed by Alexander Scriabin in 1894. It features many technical challenges, including numerous jumps in the left hand, repetitive chord strikes, and abundant octaves. It is a particular favourite among pianists and audiences alike. (Wikipedia Page for Scriabin's Étude Op. 8 No. 12)
--------------------------------------------------------------------
One of his earlier Études, written when Scriabin was around the age of 23 the strong influence of Chopin on his early musical language can be heard quite clearly here - the rhythmical figure of the theme is seemingly a reference to the Chopin Étude of the same number (i.e. the Revolutionary Étude). Yet, even amongst all of the "Chopin" flavours heavy Russian influence which is distinctively Scriabin. There has been somewhat of a Scriabin revival over the last few decades, and appreciation for his musical output has been growing - something he truly deserves given this statement made about him: "No one was more famous during their lifetime, and few were more quickly ignored after death."

The only reason I have uploaded is because there are no existing uploads of the performance and Rousseau himself has yet to upload this piece to one of his music websites, whether it be Spotify, SoundCloud or Apple Music. As a result I do not believe that a copyright exists as of now, but if one does, feel free to let me know and I will have to take down this track.

La Campanella

Lo, music hath dwelt within mine inmost soul since first I drew breath, a spectre unseen yet ever whispering in mine ear. When but a child of six, mine hands didst find their place upon the ivory keys, and in that instant, the heavens didst open, proclaiming thus: This is thy path—tread forth, and stray not.

Through the years, I didst dally with many an instrument—the clarinet, the tuneful lute, the chorus wherein voices rise as one, the riotous company of minstrels in bands of rock and revelry. Yet ‘twas not in the playing alone that my spirit found its fire, but in the crafting of melody itself—the stitching of notes like a tailor most possessed, shaping sound as a potter doth his clay.

And then, upon a fateful eve in the heady bloom of youth, I gazed upon Eroica, a vision of great Ludwig’s mighty Third. A tempest it didst stir within mine breast, a spark that set my very soul ablaze, and ere the night did wane, my quill had birthed its first true song—Piano Sonatina, 2004. From thence forth was I bound, a servant to the Muse, sworn unto composition as a knight unto his sovereign.

To Coventry’s learned halls I went, where masters wise did lend their art—Bob Ramskill, Marcus Cornell, Chris Hobbs—all scholars most esteemed, whose knowledge I did drink as doth a parched man drink the sweetest wine. Some do whisper that my hand doth echo Ornstein’s tempest, Nancarrow’s cunning, Antheil’s mad delight. If such be true, I welcome it as fortune’s boon.

Shouldst thou wish to hear the labours of my heart, thou needs but seek me out upon yon SoundCloud, where resteth my works—piano of wild fancy, great orchestral airs, a tome of strings where harmony and discord dance as lovers ‘neath the moon. And when I set mine own quill aside, I delve ‘midst the dust of time, where ancient scores lie in slumber, breathing once more the breath of life into those melodies the world hath nigh forgotten.

So tarry not, dear friend—lend thine ear, let music seize thee as the tide doth seize the shore, let it shake thee, stir thee, set thy heart adrift upon its waves. And if joy it bring thee, then know thou hast gladdened one poor composer’s soul.

I bow to thee, and bid thee well.
