great vid, love this piece

6:06 "John Cage liked your video"

i didnt even know about the existence of sets like 40 mins ago. this is the best channel on youtube by far.

Thank you Elina and Jay. Such artistry really touches me ❤

A very interesting overview, with many examples. A lot of work obviously remains if one is to understand and eventually be fluent with those sets and subsets, but the outlines drawn in these videos are very useful to the motivated student. One thing I wish you elaborated upon is the spellings used by Scriabin (sharps and flats), and the link they could establish between the sets as you described (with different spellings) and the way Scriabin actually thought about them.

I find Scriabin's later music more "musical" than Schoenberg. I know both were highly intellectual and advanced their music using their intellects - but I feel that Scriabin allied his musical intellect to a more musical "aesthetic instinct". With Scriabin - beauty is never far away, even at his most dissonant. Schoenberg is wonderful at times, especially the 2nd Quartet and early music like Verklärte Nacht - but I find that the aesthetic instincts of him and his pupils just didn't prize beauty and aesthetic resonance the way Scriabin did. Just letting a late Scriabin chord resonate and ring in the air - there is beauty, compare it with some of Schoenberg's harmonies - they are interesting and sinewy but just don't resonate with as much beauty. Within Scriabin - the stars are always singing!

Love your content!

It's important to remember that the word "atonality" was coined by Joseph Marx, whose style himself was extremely harmonically advanced and who used every trick in the book to avoid clear cadences and create harmonic ambiguity and complexity in his music, which was nevertheless anything but atonal. In fact, he was clearly quite inspired by Scriabin's style, both in orchestration and harmony. Quasi-Tonal is a quite fitting description.

I love your videos and the analysis was really interesting but your solfège was all over the place 😂 you were singing the same note and saying different stuff that made no sense but I applaud you for trying that 👏

I’m here for death metal Scriabin!

You both are amazing! ❤

4:28 Scriabin really touched on something special with that phrase

Mozart used the whole tone scale in his "Musical Joke" 😅👌

Where did you get the tshirt from?!

Great analysis, great editing

Which books do you suggest to read and learn on how to compose like Scriabin?

An awesome collab 🥰🥰

Love both of you

Thank you 🙏🏻

Made my morning! I appreciate both of your work on Scriabin, and love to see the collab!

I love Elina’s content, happy to see this collab. I’d love to see more of this in the future!

She is a scholar, yes. But is she a gentleman? 🧐

Hey, I am classical pianist and I have 6K subscribers on my UA-cam channel. I would love to do a podcast with you sometime. I learned a lot from your videos about one of my favorite composers, Scriabin. Could you send me some communication details so we can get in touch if you are interested? Thanks, great work👑

Great video man

I love your symphony so much.. I majored in engineering and received no formal music training. I got cancer last year.. so I changed my career to music. Whenever I feel doubt about my decision, I come back to your symphony and listen. verve, vibrant, vigor I feel. I played George Gershwin's Piano Concerto in F 1st Movement with an orchestra, I will be glad if you listen to it too :) it's in my channel. Are you working on any new symphonies?

I love your videos. Years ago I did a masters degree in the adoption of Scriabin's harmonic language by the Soviet composer Nikolai Roslavets (both are so undervalued), and I had to figure what I could by myself. It was tricky! I'm grateful for your videos, they are excellent. Greetings from Australia, by the way.

Just discovered your channel and really appreciate the work you're doing. Have you studied the 'sixth-diminished' scales and other concepts described by Barry Harris at all? It would be incredible to hear a conversation between Harris and Scriabin.

I think Prokofiev is definitely up there, Idk if he’s better at chromaticism though, but he’s very good at using it

Very cool, thank you

Wow, amazing !

Sounds like jazz to me, the mystic altered dominant....

I think the solfege really emphasizes how the piano sometimes held back Scriabin's writing, ironically enough. Here we have a gorgeous lyrical romantic melody that's obscured between the twin facts that 1) It's written in the upper register where the piano has little sustain and thus can't "sing", and 2) the general thickness of the writing plus the timbral homogeneity of the piano means that the counterpoint is somewhat obscured and the whole passage turns into a bunch of sensual mush. A sensitive performer and listener can bridge point 2 and but there's really no way to fix the issue of point 1 at a solo piano. Maybe Glenn Gould had a point when he said no composer's music more begged for electronic enhancement than Scriabin's music.

The is some cool stuff, I might not know what I am talking about but it does remind me of some frank zappa/steve vai stuff

Interesting as usual. I have to agree with the other commenters, I was suprised at how beautiful your singing is ! If I might enquire, what do you use to practice ? I sing Bach parts but my tone is atrocious...

Perfect timing, just started learning this. This section in particular, before the second theme was strange but the analysis helped make sense of it.

Dernova's book analyzes Scriabin as tonal and not quartal. She discusses the primary importance of the v and w tones of the chord (#9 and 13) which are a tritone apart from each other. In her view there is no mystic chord. Every chord is just an added note chord.

So much fun to see these videos! A poem satanique vid would be helpful. Your videos are very helpful and smart. Thanks for them!

Bro has an angelic voice! If only Scriabin wrote a song😭

Discordant 🙄

Where did you get that shirt? Great content, congrats!

The solfège at the end is so beautiful. Love this!

Every videos you upload are godsend, may the blessings be upon you!!!!

The solfege at the end is making me wish we had some songs from scriabin
