Alexander Scriabin ： 3 Pieces “Poeme fantasque” C-Dur Op.45-2

Scriabin’s “Poème fantasque” is a character piece that builds on the brightness of C major while evoking a whimsical and fantastical mood. Within its concise span, lively rhythms, buoyant motion, sudden dynamic changes, and shifting harmonic colors intersect, revealing a distinctive, delicate brilliance beneath its approachable character. One of its pleasures is listening to the contrasts that suggest changing scenes and carefully handing each small phrase from one gesture to the next. In performance, it is important not to rush the tempo or make the staccatos and accents overly sharp. A light touch that preserves the spring of the beat, together with pedal used sparingly to avoid blurring, brings out the changing colors and the work’s fantasy.
