Bach, Sinfonia 14 (Bflat Maj)

Listen here.

While working on Skjrabin, I found this recording from 6 months ago.  I don't know why it hasn't been posted before, probably because I didn't like it for whatever reason.  6 months later, it sure seems good to me.  Sophia and I have moved on from the Sinfonias, but they are still fun to listen to.

Skrjabin, Preludes Op. 11, No. 2

Listen here.

Skrjabin's kind of a trip, least of all because you can spell his name about 5 different ways.  This is the first piece of his I've played and I rather enjoyed the airiness of it.  Kind of dreamy, but then changes character a few times in the middle.  Weird dissonant harmony at the end.
