🇷🇺Alexander Scriabin ： 9 Mazurkas f-moll Op.25-1

Among Scriabin’s mazurkas, this piece delicately shapes the shading of its melody and the shifting colors of its harmony on a foundation of dance rhythm. A theme suggesting light, nimble steps alternates with a contrasting, songful passage, creating a sense of tension and release within its compact form. Highlights include moments in which the melody sways freely while the meter remains clear, as well as passages where changes in the inner voices deepen the expression. In performance, avoid making the accompaniment too heavy, clarify the placement of the accents, and carefully convey the melody’s breathing and the direction of each phrase. The pedal should be changed in accordance with the harmonic shifts so that the sound does not become blurred.
