Wonderful (and complete) Edition,
By
This review is from: Complete Piano Sonatas (Dover Music for Piano) (Paperback)
This edition of Scriabin's piano sonatas is another bargain from Dover, with clear print and sturdy binding. Their source is a reprint of a Russian edition, published in Moscow (1964), and not editions that date back to the composer. I mention this because there seems to be a misprint in the "Funebre" movement of Sonata No. 1: compare m. 5 on page 23 with the third measure from the end on page 24 -- the passages are otherwise identical, but the left hand on the third beat is different (although harmonically acceptable). One is likely incorrect. That said, Ashkenazy and Laredo play it as written, so who knows? Finally, to the reviewer who wondered if the Sonata No. 1 is complete -- it is. The "missing" movement from the Contents page (the "Funebre" mentioned above) begins on page 23. It's all there.

Missing movement?,
By Sam M. (Slidell, LA) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Complete Piano Sonatas (Dover Music for Piano) (Paperback)
I was extremely excited to find this, but was shot down when I discovered the fourth movement of the first sonata was missing from the table of contents (via Amazon's Look Inside feature). I played this piece in college using a score checked out from the library and would like to buy my own copy. I hesitate to purchase this version when a movement is missing. Is it missing in the score as well?
(I've only rated this item a 4/5 stars because of this discrepancy. Otherwise, I'm sure it deserves a 5/5.)
