🇷🇺Alexander Scriabin ： 2 Pieces “Desir” Op.57-1

Scriabin’s “Desir” is a short miniature imbued with an introspective, dreamlike character. A long-breathed melody is supported by subtle harmonic changes, moving from a quiet opening toward a temporary increase in tension before settling with a lingering aftertaste. Its appeal lies less in the amount of sound or brilliant virtuosity than in the changing sonorities and the expressive shaping of the melody. Carefully balance the melody, inner voices, and accompaniment, preserving the resonance with the pedal without allowing it to become blurred. Gentle tempo fluctuations should follow the emotional line naturally; by not rushing the peaks of the phrases and remaining aware even of the silences between notes, the nuance of a hidden longing can emerge.
