🇷🇺Alexander Scriabin ： Fugue f-moll WoO 13

The appeal of this work lies in its tightly woven writing, as several voices proceed by passing a single subject from one to another. Each statement of the subject is layered with movement in the other voices, allowing independent lines to come together and shape the musical flow. It is best approached as one larger whole while carefully distinguishing the entrances and responses of each voice. In performance, clear articulation that keeps the subject from being obscured is essential, as is balancing the volume between voices while sustaining the inner parts. Maintaining a sense of direction in the phrases, avoiding excessive heaviness, and naturally conveying changes of tension and release will bring out the interest of the counterpoint.
