This volume in Dover's continuing series of musical scores presents the best of Scriabin's works, his complete etudes and preludes for the solo piano. \u003cbr\u003eThere are the Chopinesque works from his early period, including the 12 etudes from Op. 8 and the 24 Preludes, Op. 11. The works of the middle period, when he began working out his new harmonies based on a series of fourths, include the outstanding sets of Preludes, Opp. 33 and 48, and the Etudes, Op. 42. The 5 Preludes, Op. 74, and the Etudes, Op. 65, from the final period reveal perhaps most about his joyous ecstasy and languid contemplation, moods which no other composer could express to such a degree. There are also the preludes and etudes from Opp. 2, 9, 13, 15, 16, 17, 22, 27, 31, 35, 37, 39, 45, 49, 51, 59, and 67, each containing miniatures working out some subtle harmonic, rhythmic, or melodic idea with a perfect pianistic sense of writing. \u003cbr\u003eThis book has been especially designed as a playing edition―the noteheads are large and easily readable at the piano, and the margins and spaces between staves are adequate for written notes, fingerings, and turnovers.

The first four reveal the influences of the pianism of Chopin and Liszt.

Scriabin began the process of a complete break with all musical conventions at least a decade before the advances of Stravinsky and Schoenberg. By 1905 he was immersed in a search for a way to express, in sound, his obsession with mystical and theosophical ideals.\u003cbr\u003eScriabin's last two orchestral works were the products of a virtual delirium of composing. Simultaneously refining his collection of verses called Poem of Ecstasy and the related symphony, Scriabin never forgot the rapture of composing this work about creation and self-fulfillment: I gasp for breath, but oh, what bliss  The very meter kindles the meaning.\u003cbr\u003ePrometheus: Poem of Fire, Scriabin's last and most revolutionary symphony, portrays humanity's epic journey from the beginning of time to the wondrous self-realization that followed the gift of fire and light, which made creative vision possible. Massively scored, Prometheus incorporates a color organ to bathe the performance space in a vast interplay of colored lights.\u003cbr\u003eFor the music professional and every student of composition, orchestration, and conducting, both scores are strikingly original and instructive. Equally fascinating are Scriabin's approach to composition, the extraordinary sonorities of his orchestra, and his fanciful, often supercharged performance instructions that replace conventional words for tempo, mood, and expression.","brand":"WoB","offers":[{"title":"GB \/ VERY_GOOD \/ INTERNAL","offer_id":50257353048337,"sku":"GOR007304101","price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":false},{"title":"US \/ GOOD \/ SBYB","offer_id":53469811048721,"sku":"CIN0486284611G","price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0784\/4072\/6801\/files\/0486284611.jpg?v=1750741544"},{"product_id":"welte-mignon-recordings-cd-0750532929729","title":"Welte Mignon Recordings","description":null,"brand":"WoB","offers":[{"title":"- \/ - \/ -","offer_id":51475696845073,"sku":"","price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"GB \/ VERY_GOOD \/ INTERNAL","offer_id":51475697107217,"sku":"DVDB0001LY9VYVG","price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0784\/4072\/6801\/files\/B0001LY9VY.jpg?v=1750735027"},{"product_id":"24-preludes-op-11-for-piano-edition-peters-book-alexander-scriabin-9790014107437","title":"24 Préludes Op. 11 for Piano (Edition Peters)","description":"Alexander Skryabin's 24 Pr ludes Op.11 for piano solo.
