🇷🇺Alexander Scriabin ： Sonata No.1 f-moll Op.6

One of Scriabin’s important early sonatas, this work consists of four movements. The first is marked by tense themes and bold development, while the second presents long-breathed melodies and shifting harmonies in a restrained atmosphere. After the rapid motion of the third movement, the finale, marked “Funèbre,” stands out for its weighty sonority and profound resonance. A successful performance depends on clearly contrasting the character of each movement, bringing out the inner voices, and keeping the sound from becoming harsh even in powerful passages.
