The Five Early/Middle Piano Sonatas, Nos. 1-5, are among the most performer works by Alexander Scriabin.
Across 13 hours of instruction covering all five sonatas, Dr. Elina Akselrud guides you deeply through Scriabin’s challenging and fascinating music.
This bundle is designed to help you rediscover Scriabin’s world, strengthen your piano playing, deepen your understanding of his musical language and imagery, and build effective new technical and interpretive skills.
Each course is a 2 to 4 hour in-depth lesson devoted to one sonata, covering its context, aesthetic ideas, imagery, and meaning, along with its main themes, practical fingering, hand redistribution, technical solutions, coordination, efficient tension-free movement, articulation, phrasing, pedaling, balance, and polyphonic detail.
Each sonata also includes a specially prepared annotated PDF score with fingerings, pedaling, translations of Scriabin’s French markings, hand redistribution, and other detailed notes created for the lesson.

About your instructor:
I am a Ukrainian-American classical pianist, currently living in Austria. In 2025 I have successfully acquired my Doctoral Degree in Artistic Research at the University of Music and Performing Arts Graz, with Excellence, on Artistic Interpretation of late Scriabin. During the last decade I have created six multi- and crossdisciplinary productions with my Intertwining Arts team. After years of my discoveries as a solo pianist and a crossdisciplinary artist, I find it absolutely necessary to share my knowledge, skills, and understanding of possibilities in musical interpretation with the world, by teaching individual piano lessons and recording video tutorials.
I play and teach all kinds of classical music - from Baroque to Contemporary. I think it is very important to understand how unique and complete each individual style is - therefore, I don't really have a favorite one, since they are all incredible. I am an open-minded and easy going person, always willing to collaborate with my students' needs and ideas when it gets to piano playing.
Please do not hesitate to contact me with any questions about individual lessons via the contact form on my website elinaakselrud.com – I will be more than happy to reply!
Keep creating and best of luck,
Dr. Elina Akselrud
