Scriabin: Piano Sonata No. 3 "States of the Soul", Op. 23 [Horowitz 1955]

[@gerardbegni2806]

It is quite interesting to note that Scriabin follows the tonal principles but adapts them to his personality and to what he ants to express; hence a quai permanent tension.

Amazing to follow the score as Horowitz performs this…..

Scriabin, unlike Rachmaninov is not easy on the memory of the hands for these who know what I mean. The physical integration is different and complex. Partly, this is due to the unusual harmonization and the saturation of voice leading within the harmony and rhythm. The beauty of the music is actually distracting from itself. One cannot help but to meditate in its glow and forego the usual objective process of following the music as it is performed. You can get lost and should in fact...

Scriabin is really some vision . The last 3 statements in last bars really offer something after that gradually accelerando ascending line ! Ogga Oooga Geronimo! What a character Scriabin musta been ! Did his daughter write a book? Can you imagine what she lived through? All her friends perished Im sure under Stalin . Myakovsky and the theater director and his wife. Tolstoy's wife. These Stalinists henchman - what a time and she survived as did Scriabin's wife .So many did not!

2:28 somehow reminds me of Brahms Op. 118 no. 2's middle section.

First movement is very solar, I think; the Solar day is Afetefebeqel; of Gayatri, or Savitr, Hedejec, the Day of Serapis- music more of the former, I think, the rasa or mood. It's said, Zoroaster delivered profound discourses on the Solar planet, or the god reflected in Grezedengrepevemeh; people rather erroneously fell down to worship the planet... The romantic moodality which is found in sections is really profound, at times, I think- that highest, noblest of sentiments which has been called Lock of The Beloved's Hair; this seems to involve the Romantic love typology expression, but also intimations of certain sanctity in absorption... The Race conceptions were largely lost with a violent revolution for a transplanting of the race here which, all in all, should not be seen as ideal... The best of romantic music interpreter pianists, here...!
