  • Pianist Henrik Kilhamn goes through the first movement of Scriabin's amazing piano sonata no. 2, op. 19 titled "Sonata-Fantasy". There are two sides to the music: one firm, gripping statement of a signal reoccuring throughout the movement, the other completely opposite of free-floating, improvisational bliss. The two characters are juxtaposed in the middle and are developed in some genius ways of piano writing.

      Thank you Rudy! I'm not playing anything of Scriabin after the 5th sonata, I really like his early/middle period but I'm not a fan of the late. But I have the 5th, 4th and the Fantasy in my repertoire and on my long list of works to do in the future.....

      @@SonataSecrets I kinda feel the same way too. I felt like Scriabin's harmonic language peaked at his 5th. His later work becomes a bit cliche for me when stripped down to the barebones of mystic chord planning, especially his 6th and 7th. In comparison, there's much more harmonic flexibility going on for his 5th. Either way, I look forward to your future works!!

I have been working on this piece for several months, and I find it very slow going (to be honest it’s probably above my current level!), but your analysis is helpful almost as much as seeing your own notes on the score.

    think you could have gone into more detail at the onset of the development, which actually features all 3 motifs from the exposition overlaid on top of each other - , the D pickup to G represents the opening motif, the melody starting on F represents the A subject of the second theme, and the D to A leading to the B flat in the next bar represents a fragment the B subject of the second theme (as you analyzed it)
    that said, great analysis, I think more pianists should study this piece and I hope this inspires more to explore the amazing music of Scriabin!

  • @CatkhosruShapurrjiFurabji

    I feel that Scriabin was inspired by the opening of Chopin's Polonaise-Fantaisie to write this opening. First of all, both sound very improvisational opening with a fanfare with dotted rhythms followed by the upper notes that accompany them (arpeggios in the Polonaise, inverted fifths in this piece). And these grow up to be rhythmically steady and turning into an actual piece, well-structured and contrapuntally richer. And this is in the parallel minor of the Polonaise-Fantaisie. Also, both the pieces have a tender slow section in B major (here, the 2nd theme of the exposition).
    9:29 this reminds me of the passage in Bb, that occurs before the slow section in B major, in the polonaise fantasie (probably because of the resolution shortly after the C natural (upper semitone to the key this section is in. Something Chopin often did.) occurs).
    The exposition ends in a pentatonic manner and turns to D major for a moment and then, you have the development, just like the quotation of the introduction in the slow section of the polonaise fantaisie.

      Basically I think practice each hand separately so they know every beat by themselves, and then play together and make sure each beat meet up.

    • @emanuel_soundtrack
      @emanuel_soundtrack 3 роки тому

      My suggestion is that you just practice a lot with metronome and be careful to not do any mistake at the concert . If you do a mistake you repeat all again until you find your self looking for a better job. Now you have it!

    8:08 this chord is actually a Chopin Chord (at least we call it that in Germany). It's a dominant with a 7 and additionally the (in this case) major third of the tonica.
    So it's more a typical Chopin-like chord than Scriabin-like. But since it is known that Scriabin was a big fan of Chopin, this chord makes a lot of sense :)

    This reminds me of what the American pianist/composer/lecturar Bruce Adolph often says "Sonata form is called that because it is so not a form".
    Perhaps that is what Sonata secrets can be said to be about as well - revealing the "secret" of the music making it so not a secret?

      @SonataSecrets  4 роки тому

      Exactly! :) In my early videos I had the logo change between the words like that, but I cut it because couldn't find space for it in the beginning or end... But Bruce Adoplhe apparently thought of it first then!
