🇷🇺Alexander Scriabin ： Mazurka h-moll

This short piece is marked by the characteristic sway of the mazurka’s triple meter and by shades of feeling beneath its lightness. While maintaining the buoyancy of the dance rhythm, the melody calls for a singing quality, and the changing light and shade from one passage to the next deserve careful attention. Clarifying the roles of the principal melody and accompaniment without losing the overall flow brings out the appeal of its concise writing. Accents should not be stressed mechanically, but treated as a supple movement within the meter. Keep the left hand light, listen carefully to the harmonic changes, and use restrained rubato to balance the elegance of the dance with its inward emotional character.
