This is one of my favorite Concertos, and I learned a good deal from analyzing it. Very passionate and lyrical! Movement 1 Appears to be in some sort of Ternary Form, with some imagination, of ABA' or thereabouts. Movement 2 is a Theme and 4 variations, with the first being basically repeated at the end. Movement 3 is in Sonata Rondo Form, with the development beginning with a reiteration of the first theme. The Rondo aspect can also be seen in what I called the "Interlude", where Theme 2 appears to be interrupted in the middle by theme 1. The exposition consists of 2 subjects; The first set in F# minor, the second in A major, the relative Major. This 'exposition' is then repeated, but with a few noticeable differences. The development, after restating the main theme, goes on to compare and contrast different harmonic and motific elements of all 4 subjects, adding on gradually, to come to a brilliant closing section in F# Major, the parallel key. Movement 3 has bits and pieces that are tangentially similar to aspects of the themes of the first movement, and the second subject reminds me of movement 2. Overall, the work is very unified, but my favorite is movement 3, and 21:41 and the climax are one of my favorite moments in all of music. I spent 3 hours writing this...

@@dracowolfe305 Other than this I’m aware of a Reverie Op.24 and the 5 symphonies, most of his music is for solo piano. The rest of the orchestral pieces seem to be sketches put together by later composers/conductors. If you’re new to Scriabin in general his music evolves drastically from typical romantic era to his own mystical language in the later works starting from Op.58 onwards which includes the 5th symphony. Symphonies 1 and 2 are from his early period, 3 and 4 are in the middle as he’s transitioning to his later style. The piano sonatas follow a similar trajectory if you haven’t heard them. 1-3 are early, 4 and 5 are in the middle, 6-10 are late. Vers la flamme is also worth checking out if you take a liking to his later music.

It is true that Scriabin was highly influenced by Chopin in composing this, but this concerto is no mere imitation. It is a reflection of Scriabin in his own right.

I’ve never been a fan of Scriabin’s music. But this concerto is engaging, romantic, beautiful and in places rhapsodic. Everything I look for in a piano concerto. A piano concerto must bring the composers original intellect to the fore else listeners become disinterested and dismiss it as vacuous. This piece avoids all semblances of contrivance and is quite inspirational. I love the triplets in the finale which gives it gorgeous momentum up to the very last notes. This masterpiece shows Scriabin’s wonderful potential for music worthy of the classical repertory. I certainly will listen again in the near future and expect my admiration to grow with familiarity.

Wow. I'm mostly familiar w/ Scriabin from his piano preludes, surprised to hear such consonant harmonic language from him. Gorgeous, but not the same vibe as the preludes. Got me to learn about his different periods.

Why does this vibrant accessible romantic work not appear more regularly in the concert repertoire? It's got beautifully developed melodies, 'traditional' harmonic structures, restrained virtuosity, a suitably lyrical 2nd movement and genuinely engaging orchestral writing. It's a real crowd pleaser. Just needs someone like Wang, Lang Lang, Buniatishvili, Hough or (god help us) Grosvenor or Lisitsa to embed it in the public's imagination...
@cosmocoen55516 жыл бұрын
i've asked my teacher about this repeatedly; the only answer she's given me is that the orchestration is a little weird and a lot of people look down on this piece as having "no character", which i find ridiculous. she also loves this piece, but from what she told me it just seems like a piece that many people aren't prepared to work on long term, which really sucks

The public does not need non-musicians like Lang Lang, Buniatishvili, Grosvenor or Lisitsa, who are just show without any substance.

As you mentioned, "restrained virtuosity" and doesn't have any explicit passages that are considered thrilling. It's such a beautiful concerto, and it's a pity it's not played.

did you know they knew each other, in fact they studied together (there's a picture of them with his teacher when they were just children, very cute!) rach and scriabin's styles are beautiful indeed!
@aerohydra38494 жыл бұрын
@@-cloudsaboveuscrying-6805 Indeed, I believe Rachmaninoff was deeply affected by Scriabin's death as well (he died quite young) and toured with Scriabin's music to show his appreciation. One thing that he never did get though was Scriabin's synesthesia (seeing musical notes as colors in a spectrum).

Every composer was influenced by those who came before him (her). How else would the traditions of European classical music be built? Scriabin's music does not sound like jazz or a gamelon. Note that Chopin himself was (half) Polish, and there is much that is Slavic in his music. So some of the echoes of Chopin in Scriabin are not 'influences' or 'borrowings', but rather have a common and deeper origin.

The fact Scriabin wrote this in a few days is mind boggling, how I wish I could have an ounce of his genius. How tragic he could never explore the true depths of his mind, it's a tragedy for all of us
