🇷🇺Alexander Scriabin ： Feuille d’album Op.58

Scriabin’s “Feuille d’album” is a character piece that condenses a lyrical melody and subtly shifting harmonies into a brief span of music. Rather than presenting a large structure divided into clearly defined sections, it unfolds through continuous changes in the breath of the melody and the color of the chords. Its appeal lies in the songful quality of the main line and the delicate movement of the inner voices and supporting harmonies. In performance, the melody should be brought out gently, while the pedal is changed carefully in response to the harmonic shifts so that the sound does not become blurred. Avoiding a mechanically fixed tempo, preserve the natural breathing of the phrases and shape the delicate dynamics and resonance with care.
