I truly believe Scriabin is among the greatest musical minds that has ever lived. His legacy will surely grow as years go by.

[@MalabarTheGreat]

Scriabin's legacy today is thankfully bigger than ever. As little as around a decade ago, Scriabin was still mostly known only among pianists, but now it seems all sorts of musicians and fans of classical music are appreciative of his music.

[@louise_rose]

@@MalabarTheGreat Yep, I remember reading that in the fifty years after 1917, "Prometheus", his last finished work for orchestra, was performed in public only THREE times, globally! It was quite hard to get to hear it even in the 1980s (I taped a performance broadcast live in 1985 to a cassette). These days he's far more appreciated and played.

[@bernardparret3191]

I truly agree. Unfortunately he is little known to the majority of music lovers in France (I am French) who listen chiefly to Mussorgsky and Rimsky. Too bad !

[@Javid_74]

Scriabin. One of the most wonderful composers of his time, and unfortunately was seemingly forgotten about as fast as he accumulated his fame. But we still remember him! Hahhah. Him and his wonderful grasp of dynamics, lyrical movements, and harmonic progression. Long live.

[@Javid_74]

@tr7938 I mean in the context of the period he was alive to afterwards. He was quite the sensation while alive and not so for a while afterwards. I just find it curious because for the majority of composers it is the other way around.

[@marcphilos9915]

Scriabin's mazurkas are a luxurious bounty to my spirit. The influence of Chopin is undeniable. In Scriabin's own way, though, it appears that he extracts all the raw spiritual energy of the traditional mazurka popularized by his Romantic predecessor and formulates it into a flowing, timeless essence flirting with the boundaries of specificity and form.

[@DisappointedPsychStudent]

He plays his Fantaisie so well!

[@mariarosalbaditolla9409]

Sono ignorante in fatto di musica ma amo ascoltarla e farmi trasportare dalle note. Scriabin è tra i miei preferiti. Con lui il viaggio e' entusiasmante, la sua musica produce incredibili atmosfere dove ogni volta mente e cuore involano.

[@utsteinproductions]

As a fan of Scriabin, I've noticed his early works had Chopin influence in them. His later works is when he comes into his own. If you havent done so, his piano concerto is worth a listen.

[@canman5060]

His only piano concerto.It is like a combination of Chopin and Rachmaninoff.

[@canman5060]

The performance of his remarkable piano concerto by Vladimir Ashkenazy set the standard.

[@ministryofanti-feminism1493]

[@mrbrianmccarthy]

One of my favorite composers! He should be more well known. He started where Chopin left off and gradually came into his own very bizarre and eclectic style-----but even his early music is not like chopins. He has a different harmonic style all his own. Its a shame he used so many of the same titles Chopin did(Impromptu, Mazurka,prelude) , because that led for a lot of people to dismiss him as a copy cat of Chopin. But He was not! He had his own style which got more and more pronounced as he got older. He was also waaaay ahead of his time harmonically and rhythmically as well.a true genius whose pianoi music deserves a place next to chopins, debussy's, Rachmaninoffs and yes Beethovens and Mozarts as well !

[@gershompesach]

[@noentantojorgeclaudioribei6515]

the name is "Scriabin"

[@billmarrufo]

I am 71 now, not a musician but grew in an atmosphere of classical music. Since I discovered Scriabin´s music, he soon became my absolute preferred composser. Innovation in sound, chords, tempo, phrasing, interwoven lines (not exactly counterpointed I guess), everything. The first thing I listened was his Op. 8-12 on a CD that my father bought some 40 years ago. It remained there dusting in my memory for 20 more years, without much effect...until KZbin appeared in my life and I could explore more of his marvels. I like almost all of his music but absolutely love his early and mid music to Opuses fifty some. Prelude 37-1 almost made me cry the first time I heard it with Volodos. His sonata No. 5 with Lubyantsev is a jewel, the best dish of a Michelin Star Restaurant, the Mazurkas presented here as well as the Etude 42-5.

[@raffitorossian6994]

My favorite composer is Bach.

[@billmarrufo]

@@raffitorossian6994 For many years it was mine too and has never fallen beyond my second place. My love for his music came around 1966 or 67, after I learned Ludwig Van Beethoven was not the GOAT I thought. Together with Bach and his fabulous contrapunct and fugue works, as well as his vocal masterworks like the St. Mathew and St. John Passions, came Mozart and his mature works dominated by the Requiem and the piano Concertos, specially the 20, 21, and 23. At that time, some baroque composers took turns in my taste as giants. Vivaldi, Scarlatti, Haendel, Teleman, Albinoni, Pergolesi made me forget and even dislike LVB in a way. More recently I switched to Rach as my ultimate hero until I discovered Scriabin. Both were classmates. Sorry to bother you. Regards.

Increasingly I find the comparison between Scriabin and Chopin boring. They were very different composers. These performances are outstanding. I particularly check how a pianist plays Opus 25 as the nature of these works is most peculiar. With Chopin, you're dealing with salon pieces. With Scriabin we are either in a monastic chapel all alone or in a boudoir, particularly as he got more crazy and grandiloquent. There are times when I would like something new to listen to and only Scriabin will do and this is superb pianism, no doubt about it. Best

[@thepianocornertpc]

Chopin salon pieces? The Sonatas, Ballades, Scherzi etc.are salon pieces?

[@heresy7266]

@@thepianocornertpc yea I am kind of bored from people saying such things about Chopin. There is a reason why he is still remembered! his sonatas, ballads, Polonaise, Scherzos are one of the greatest pieces ever written! however people hear Chopin and think of his 2 minute joke waltzes and mazurkas I am sorry but that's like saying: AH yes Napoleon Bonaparte!

Scriabin était beauté, message, violence et rêve, mais surtout l'instrument puissant d'une volonté formidable. il disait "Je veux" quand beaucoup d’autres marmonnaient "je voudrais" Il a atteint son but sans se plier à la plus infime compromission, comme une charrue accrochée à une étoile.

It seems rather irrelevant or unfair to compare Scriabin, an original genius to Chopin, another original genius. Both lived in different times and countries. Chopin had passed 23 years before Scriabin was born. It would make more sense to compare Scriabin to Rachmaninov. Same epoch, country, city, school and teachers...as they were both classmates. Basic difference between their life journeys was that Rach lived much longer, he emigrated to America and became famous, while Scriabin died very young, stayed and became virtually unknown few years after his death, even in Russia, more so in the West. Evidently both knew very well and had a great respect for Chopin, Liszt and other famous compossers (Mozart, Bach, Beethoven, Glinka, etc)

[@mikehutton3937]

I've never thought of Scriabin as "nice". There is an undercurrent of dark ecstasy and insanity which runs through even his early pieces. Chopin was simply unsurpassable. But Scriabin is a different beast entirely - an utter revolutionary in his own lifetime, in an age of reactionary music. These early pieces are vastly more difficult to interpret than Chopin's Mazurkas or Waltzes. The edginess and slightly mad flights are largely missing from these performances, which are played *very* straight. But it is apparent here and there in the moodier Mazurkas. I find the middle period (op 30-51) much easier to play as you don't need to inject so much effort to make the notes fly.

Tree of knowledge of good and evil and a new invention. Adam and Eve and the tree of knowledge of good and evil. It perhaps is also, or only the story of inventing something new. Say you invent something, maybe you discover nuclear energy and its possibilities. You use the knowledge to make energy-producing things, and so this is good, humanity goes one step further. Someone else tho, uses the knowledge to create the most destructive bombs that have ever existed. Good and evil. From the same source. Tree of knowledge. And now what happens? You need to live with the knowledge of good and evil. That there are bombs which can end us all, and you caused it. How do we deal with this? How do we dare publish new discoveries, now that we see that they can be used for so evil causes too? Maybe I have written a master plan, which explains in detail how to cause more corruption and evil than anyone has ever before. I publish it so that people could now use the plan to detect, to see corruption, and to understand it. The master plan kinda exposes all current evil, and the future evil too. Wouldn't it be great if I were to publish this and people would not fall prey so easily anymore? Yet someone smarter, more creative, and skillful could upgrade my plan because surely I don't know everything about corruption. And this person may then implement HIS master plan which is more evil and corrupted than I could think of. I guess this is why we call them ideas/tools, not facts. People shouldn't think that after reading about my master plan, they now know everything about corruption because if they would think so, someone with a more clever plan could take over. And so for eternity, we gotta keep exposing the corruption, while the corrupted use our inventions, upgrade them and try to take over. Now weren't I in a paradise before this? I didn't have to worry about the eternal fight between good and evil I caused by publishing my work. Not a fact, only an idea, perhaps and useful tool. I wonder if I could say, Jing, Adam, Good, and Order are the same, and the opposites/another side of the coin/things of which they depend on: Jang, Eve, Evil, and Chaos. What about infinite and finite, could they be connected to all above? Is there an opposite for nature? Could tree of life and tree of knowledge of good and evil be the same?

[@mysterium364]

Please see a psychiatrist

[@margaretmoore8482]

I am a retired concert pianist who is coming to the Scriabin repertoire late in life. Weirdly, I find much of his music decadent, necrotic, pretentious. HIs harmonic ear portends intense suffering and hopelessness. I've played Rachmaninoff and Chopin piano works happily, without distress - but Scriabin for some reason gives me the dry heaves. Has anyone else had that reaction?

I had that reaction in college, while studying music comp and trying to teach myself piano, and unfortunately failed to listen to any of his things as a result post-college, but I'm now almost 50 and just recently came back to all of it after having finally attained a small degree of musicianship, and I'm beginning to hear different dimensions which hadn't been apparent at first, which give me this tremendous feeling of nostalgia I've only ever tended to hear from my other personal favorite composers (Chopin among them, but not so much Rach) and where I used to hear a youngster trying to grasp at things he didn't have the capacity to understand, I now hear an old soul trying to feel its way from hopelessness into hopefulness. I think that about summarizes it for me, now that I've written it out. But yes, I do remember experiences of listening to this very same music I now intend to learn, where I felt something akin to pre-vomitory impulses from below. I'd be interested to hear about some of the ones you're considering or learning to play, it's his early stuff for me at this point but that might only be my Mahlerian streak talking, as I sort of hear a bit of that in his early music, as well as a bit of early Schoenberg.

I think his chance in style came with the inhalation and injection of drugs....

Sono ignorante in fatto di musica ma amo ascoltarla e farmi trasportare dalle note. Scriabin è tra i miei preferiti. Con lui il viaggio e' entusiasmante, la sua musica produce incredibili atmosfere dove ogni volta mente e cuore involano.
