Alexander Scriabin ‒ 2 Nocturnes, Op.5

[@stephenjablonsky1941]

Scriabin did write some of the prettiest, sweetest music after Chopin. Those who know his music are members of a dedicated and loyal fan club. I carry my membership card with me at all times!

[@bigdick3228]

Me too.

[@Bampaloudu64]

I love playing his Two Poèmes op. 32. The first one is one of the warmest pieces I've ever heard. The second one is a bit hard to manage as a pianist, I'm not a concertist so I think I have to study it a bit more carefully.

I might even say that Scriabin is the better Chopin.

[@chopin65]

Such an underrated composer!

[@bigdick3228]

I think that if he had toured the US like Rachmaninoff and Stravinsky did, he would not have been so "hipster" in reputation. Almost every famous 20th century "classical" composer owes their media image to their American tours.

​@@bigdick3228 вы сильно преувеличиваете роль соединённых штатов америки и их концертных менеджеров в мировом музыкальном искусстве😂😊 Если в музыке Рахманинова и тем более Стравинского есть где и как "спрятать" отсутствие души за разливами мелодии, перекатами голосов и виртуозностью пассажей, то в хрупкой и просто написанной, но такой искренней музыке Скрябина вам просто не на что опереться, если вы не чувствуете тонкость и хрупкость души Настоящего Русского Аристократа!☝️😊🥰

[@Surr3alll]

How did Scriabin actually think of this? I can't understand that. This music is incredible!

[@nezkeys79]

I often think this with pretty much all music before 1900 tbh I don't know what happened to the human brain concerning music composition because ant old bedroom musician could realistically compose and easily play what you hear in the charts 😅 Are there any actual composeds in 2024 writing anything as complex/memorable as composers like Chopin Liszt Debussy Rachmaninov Mozart Beethoven etc?

[@trung.nguyen.t]

The f sharp minor has a Chopinesque ternary form, outer sections are forlorn soliloquies while the middle is an intense dialogue. I would love to play this beautiful nocturne soon, and thanks to it, I got to know and enjoy the brighter and more relaxing no.2 in A major too

[@jehffsalt3903]

beethoven been real quiet since this dropped

[@lightningbolt4419]

Everything was real quiet for Beethoven.

[@EggMCMUFFIN-e4l]

Imagine if Beethoven write a set of nocturnes😍 I can only think of his Sonata 32 arietta, maybe the First movement of his op 27 no 2, and a few others that have that nocturne feel

[@emyrwyn604]

It’s interesting how the Left Hand is considerably underdeveloped here before his injury at age 20. Compared to the LH work in some of the Op. 11 preludes this score looks much simpler!

A few measures of the first nocturne in F-Sharp minor plays during the scene when Mina and Prince Vlad are in the cinematograph theater from the movie Bram Stokers Dracula.

Cool!

[@on-the-spot9467]

Magnificent

[@milton3204]

"Considering Scriabin’s long-standing ‘love affair’ with Chopin’s music, it is surprising that he should have written so few nocturnes." And he compensated by writing 70+ preludes haha.

[@milton3204]

he did, but op. 11 ain't his only set. there's op. 13, 15, 16, 17, 22, 27, 33, 37...and so on...

It's like Chopin, but more modern...and more Russian. It's so amazing in that sense. It has the clothes of Chopin...but spend a few more seconds, and you know the crazy fellow who wrote it must have been someone else, someone with an entirely new and unique musical aesthetic.

Skrjabin is the Chopin of Russia! Marvellous!

[@nnaazzaa9746]

Скрябин - это никакой не Шопен. Скрябин - это Скрябин. В его Симфониях и Симфонических Поэмах нет ничего от Шопена. В опусе 51 - аналогично. Скрябин - это скачок вперёд и вверх со ступеньки Шопена.

[@justadude641]

Even on his first works, Scriabin already showed a distinguished style.

I wonder piano was this performed on? Sounds a bit too bright and dry. Böesendorfer or hamburg steinway would make these nocturnes sound absolutely magical.

Io adoro la musica di Scriabine, le sonate i preludi, le mazurke gli studi etc... eppure questi notturni continuano a non colpirmi particolarmente... non so perché, probabilmente mia limitazione

Hi everyone If you guys are in love with nocturnes, consider to listen to these 6 nocturnes: kzbin.info/www/bejne/fp7Sf2aGeZx2f68 They are really relaxing!

[@SCRIABINIST]

These pieces are like Chopin's Nocturnes with a Russian flair. Interestingly, Taneiff regarded these pieces as "empty" as the open fifths were often too evident.

[@Whatismusic123]

Sounds like this "Taneiff" guys was a complete moron.

The first nocturne was sort of dull for Scriabin. The second was an elegant simple piece. Both arent too memorable though.

[@renatofabbro5263]

The second nocturne is beautiful and definitely memorable.

A little insulting comment.

[@chindianajones3742]

Sure, they might not be the most intellectually stimulating pieces, but they are still wonderful to listen to. Consideration of the composers age (and hence maturity in life and musicality) should be taken into account when critiquing their pieces.
