Alexander Scriabin ： 2 Poèmes C-Dur Op.44-2

This character piece condenses a singing melody and delicate harmonic changes into a brief span of time. While the melody should emerge clearly, the movement of the accompaniment and inner voices subtly changes the color of the music. The piece unfolds with an overall sense of continuity, and the exchanges between melodic lines and the shifting sonorities are among its highlights. In performance, it is important to support the singing right-hand line fully without making the left hand or inner voices too heavy. The pedal should be cleared at appropriate points to avoid harmonic blurring, while a flexible tempo that follows the breathing of the phrases can bring out the music’s elegance and inward expressiveness.
