I like turtles

You are always at least a a few months ahead of me!

Stockhausen

At the heights of my depression, I couldn't play this sonata, I always started crying. Thing is, the entire piece to me just sings of loss and hopelessness (perhaps appropriate considering the circumstances under which Scriabin wrote it). The first movement full of reminiscense and false hope, the second pretending to be at peace, third lashing out against fate. And the funeral march permeating the entire thing, until it finally hits with its uncompromising fatality. I don't know, it's just one of those pieces of music that I feel on a very personal level somehow.

Pangeaner

i dont quite get it, what hardships did scriabin go through his life?

Stockhausen

@Pangeaner This was written after he damaged his hand while practicing and the doctors told him he would never be able to play again. He himself described the sonata as a "cry against God, against fate". He recovered in the end, but when writing this piece, he felt hopeless and depressed.

​@Stockhausen It's also why the left-hand parts for this work (and others of this period of his piano compositions) are particularly difficult

I believe this early Sonata of Scriabin's is exemplary of High and late Romanticism and actually very Lisztian in many aspects,an extension of polyphonic technique, which is practically orchestral in the first movement. The lyricism of the second movement is singular and very melancholic and Russian to me. The third movement is an aggressive display of Scriabin's piano technique. However, The fourth movement is very soulful and tragic, resembling Chopin's in obvious ways; but none the less uniquely Russian to it's core.

I'm A panda

The funeral match of this piece was written lamenting Scriabin’s right hand, which he injured playing Liszt’s diabolical Reminiscences De Don Juan Mozart. Lisztian indeed!

Big oof for Scriabin. It should be written on music-sheets of Liszt and other wild composers to not try to attempt at home, since "praying" won't help anymore when you're already the prey
