🇷🇺Alexander Scriabin ： Romance WoO 21

Scriabin’s Romance WoO 21 is a concise miniature that distills a song-like melody and delicate harmonic changes into a compact form. Its appeal lies in the contrast between the right-hand melody and the accompanying figures, as well as in the breathing of the phrases, through which subtle shifts of shade unfold. In performance, the melody should be shaped with a sufficiently legato connection, while the inner voices and accompaniment remain restrained and the harmonic changes are carefully heard. The pedal should be changed attentively to avoid blurring the sonority, and slight fluctuations of tempo, used without disturbing the overall flow, can enhance the work’s intimate character.
