Alexander Scriabin
1872-1915
Some relevant facts
about Scriabin are: He was Russian he was born and died in
Moscow. He was a child prodigy of the piano, and a great admirer of
Chopin. His piano and orchestral compositions are finely crafted, the
latter uniting aesthetics with religion. Both are naturally laced
with the Russian temperament, and show an embrace of the harmonic
revolution of his time.
The prelude (Op.9
No.1) is an early piece exhibiting Scriabin's melodic flair. It's
form is a kind of condensed sonata ABA with a coda. The 'B'
section of roving, moderately distant, harmonies, and the 'coda' with
its binding bass line are equal to the theme, as they should be.
I am very fond of the
tremolo style, and here it highlights the marvelous counterpoint of
the piece.
