🇷🇺Alexander Scriabin ： 7 Preludes b-moll Op.17-4

Within its brief span, this prelude concentrates restrained emotion and inner tension. A gentle flow allows the melody and changing harmonies to unfold quietly together, while shifts in register and sonority gradually deepen the music. One of its attractions is the emotional fluctuation beneath the calm surface, as well as the heightened resonance that emerges at important points. In performance, the melody should be brought clearly to the foreground while the accompanying voices remain soft. Use the pedal carefully to avoid blurring the sound, and do not rush the tempo; giving attention to the phrasing and subtle dynamic changes helps bring out its delicate expression.
