Alexander Scriabin ： 2 Pieces pour le main gauche “Nocturne” Des-Dur Op.9-2

This lyrical Nocturne in D-flat major is written to be played entirely with the left hand. A gently singing melody blends with the flowing accompaniment in the lower register, creating rich harmonic colors. The music gradually increases in tension from its quiet opening before regaining its calm, with the breath of the melody and its delicate shades providing the main points of interest. In performance, it is important to bring the principal melody clearly to the foreground while keeping the accompaniment soft. Careful legato and thoughtful pedaling help create the singing sonority this work seeks with the left hand alone.
