🇷🇺Alexander Scriabin ： 5 Preludes gis-moll Op.16-2

This prelude concentrates a sense of urgency and a singing melodic quality within a brief span. From the opening, finely flowing motion propels the music forward, while the upper melody overlaps with the support of the inner voices and bass, gradually increasing the tension. Rather than making major changes of scene, it maintains a single continuous flow and shapes its climax through contrasts of dynamics and register. In performance, the melody should be brought clearly to the fore, while the accompaniment remains light and supple rather than hard-edged. The pedal should support the resonance without creating blur; attention to the direction of the small figures and to the breathing of each phrase brings out the work’s concentrated expression.
