Alexander Scriabin ： 24 Preludes E-Dur Op.11-9

This intimate prelude is marked by the brightness of E major and a gentle lyrical quality. A flowing accompaniment supports a singing melody, while the brief piece moves from a quiet, conversational opening toward a soft intensification. Its appeal lies in the delicate shades created by inner voices and harmonic changes, as well as the natural, breathing flow of the melody. In performance, the melody should emerge clearly from the accompaniment, while the sound retains its resonance even at a restrained dynamic. Use the pedal carefully to avoid blurring the harmony, and shape the direction of each phrase and its afterglow with care to bring out the work’s lyricism.
