🇷🇺Alexander Scriabin ： Polonaise b-moll Op.21

Built on the dotted rhythms and stately tread characteristic of the polonaise, this work brings together weighty chords, sharp accents, and long-breathed melodies. A powerful, dramatic main section is contrasted with lyrical episodes that soften the flow, while the piece unfolds through broad contrasts and shifting intensity. In performance, the left-hand rhythm should remain firm and steady without becoming overly heavy, allowing the right-hand melody to emerge with a rich tone. The pedal should support the resonance without clouding the texture, and in moments of growing tension, attention to harmonic change as well as volume helps bring out the work’s dramatic power.
