Hi everyone (long time!)
SO i was re-reading scriabin´s bio once again, and I finally remembered to ask for everyone´s help on this?
on Volume II, when Scriabins visit to America is discussed, Scriabin writes to his wife about a left hand waltz that made the audience go wild, but one which he would never play again because a Russian fellow of his in the audience booed him with disapproval.

Any one have a clue where I can find the sheet music to this curious left-hand waltz? I have in my archives pretty much what I have found of his posth. pieces such as the 2 other sonatas, extra albumleaves, and short pieces, including 2 more waltzes, but not a left handed one.

Anyone wish to share this if they have or know FOR SURE that it is still unpublished? THANKS for the help.

Check out 'Lefty's Garage' down on Lexington avenue...

I am unfamiliar with this piece, although there are at least two left hand only pieces by Scriabin: a Prelude and a Nocturne.

Yes, those 2 were published and are still very popular. In America, during Scriabin`s brief tour, those 2 left-handed pieces were constantly encored because the public demanded them. Then, in one of his last recitals, he presented a left-handed waltz which he had just remembered he had written in his conservatory days to exercise his left hand. This is the piece I am looking for but still no such luck. The posth. published waltzes I have are not for left-hand only so I am still hoping someone can help. Thanks.

It's possible that it was never published.

That would be real sad. If the CANON made it to the complete editions, then why not a flashy left-hand waltz?
