🇷🇺Alexander Scriabin ： 9 Mazurkas fis-moll Op.25-7

Among Scriabin’s mazurkas, this piece places an introspective, songful character at the forefront while preserving the rhythm of the dance. Within its unhurried flow, the melody is handed over in long, singing phrases, while shifting harmonies create delicate shades of color. After a passage with a contrasting character, the atmosphere of the opening seems to return, making the changes of expression between sections a particular point of interest. It is important to maintain the triple meter and the characteristic accents of the mazurka while allowing the melody to emerge fully. Use the pedal carefully to avoid blurring the sonority, and add natural breathing through restrained rubato.
