Alexander Scriabin ： Vers la flamme Op.72

Beginning with quiet movement in the low register, the piece gradually increases its range, volume, and density as short motives are repeated and chromatic progressions accumulate. Harmonies that do not settle into a clear tonal center create a growing sense of heat, leading toward an intense climax near the end. The performer should shape the changes between each stage on a large scale, preserving resonance with the pedal in the softer passages without blurring the outlines, while bringing out the succession of chords and the movement of the inner voices in the louder sections. It is important not to hurry toward the climax, but to carefully portray the sustained tension and its release.
