🇷🇺Alexander Scriabin ： Sonata No.3 fis-moll Op.23

This four-movement sonata brings dramatic tension and lyricism into constant interplay. The first movement presents a dramatic theme alongside contrasting songful writing, while the second creates shifting shades within its light, agile motion. After the quiet introspection of the third movement, the finale advances with energetic momentum and brilliant exhilaration, bringing the work to a powerful close. In addition to the contrasting characters of the movements, listeners should attend to the connections between their themes and motives. In performance, the melodies should be clearly projected from within the dense chords, while sudden dynamic changes are held together as part of a larger musical arc. The pedal should support the resonance without clouding the texture, and in faster passages, clarity of articulation should be balanced with forward drive to bring out the work’s dramatic character.
