Alexander Scriabin ： Sonata es-moll

This early piano sonata is marked by the deep shadows of E-flat minor and the dramatic intensity characteristic of the young Scriabin. Tense thematic material contrasts with lyrical passages that unfold in a singing manner, creating an interplay of unease and lyricism throughout the work. From the opening, it is important to move the music forward with awareness of phrase direction and harmonic changes, rather than relying solely on heaviness. Bring out the melody gently without burying the inner voices, and carefully control gradations of dynamics and subtle tempo flexibility to reveal the work’s tension and lingering resonance.
