I can’t think of Scriabinesque or Russian futurist work for pierrot ensemble. The closest thing may be the chamber symphonies of Roslavets, but they are quite distant from this ensemble. In this way, your work is ground breaking.
@@kvn00000 I don’t think I’ve ever seen Scriabin performed live in concert (Which is strange to think about). I would absolutely love to hear his symphonic works live.
@@MasonIshida my city's FOOSA Group performed Scriabin Prometheus, which I was very lucky to have free tickets to since my Symphonic Orchestra Director and Violin instructor at the time had some to give away to students. Highly recommend going and listening to that though. I know some groups do orchestral transcriptions of Scriabins music. Scriabin also has an Andante and Scherzo string piece thats really good
@@robertschaaf8606 I’m definitely familiar with the music just didn’t remember the name. I’ve both listened to and played Schumann in the past and he’s one of my favorite romantic composers
@@robertschaaf8606 1. It's not basic Schumann. 2. I don't think anyone remembers the name of that piece. It's only three minutes long and part of a larger set.
@@Piranesi-gc8gn I spent hours a day for over a year just playing through his late sonatas (though I only ever practiced 4, 5, 9, and 10 up to speed as well as playing through loads of his miniatures). I spent a lot of time trying to replicate his harmonies and voicings just by improvising and using chords/progressions I heard/saw in Scriabin’s music. I spent time also looking at the orchestration of Poem of Ecstasy and Prometheus Poem of Fire and got an idea of how Scriabin writes polyphonic textures in his ensemble works. I opted for a polyphonic texture because I wanted the music to sound larger than it would with a simpler texture. This wasn’t a great decision for the reading session though because the piano part is not exactly easy to sightread (I no longer have the recording from that reading). I think while this work uses “Scriabinesque” harmony pretty consistently, it still has a bit of second Viennese school influence as well (not actually intentional but it makes sense since I was also working on Berg sonata around then). I think if I finish/expand this one I’ll probably study a bit harder to try and make it sound closer to Scriabin’s style.
Complex music demands extensive study. I have listened extensively, but not studied. Thus, I cannot judge openly. But why is my mind so harsh? I cannot enjoy anything anymore. Year after year, my mind does not change. With no logical support, my opinion remains resolute. Is it just obsession? If it doesn't go away after a few more years, I will be forced to study to find relief.
I might revive it and finish it if there is some sort of Pierrot ensemble performance opportunity for me. Otherwise I plan to re use the motives/themes and or phrases in a larger ensemble work. Not sure when I’ll get around to doing that though. Thank you for listening!
Scriabin is one of my absolute favorite composers and I adore his music. As the description says, this was merely “an attempt to evoke his harmony” I don’t by any means think this an accurate imitation as it’s an entirely incomplete work that I did as a homework assignment and the chord progressions are somewhat different from Scriabin. The coda also doesn’t sound like something Scriabin would write to me. As for the title of the video, that’s literally the reason I wrote this with this harmony, so I rather see this as an homage instead of any sort of disrespect. The piece didn’t have a title so I titled the video this because I thought it was humorous and relevant to my intense interest in Scriabin at the time.

If I had a genie, I would probably wish for Scriabin to have composed loads of chamber music.
that genie’s name is roslavets
@@samuelmincarelli5051his son Julian likely would have been the best successor if he didn’t drown when he was 11
If I had a genie I'd wish for better sound samples for this lovely, suggestive miniature with great possibilities.
@@ejb7969 woah careful you only get two more wishes…
(Thank you btw!)
Piano sounds like Scriabin. Orchestral grouping sounds like Berg. It's like Scriaberg.
Bergabin.
Love !!!
Recognized the Scriabin sound with the piano introduction 🤣
dude really liked trills what can I say…
It sounded like sonata 7 ending lol
@@DynastieArtistiqueYes! Haha.
Beautifully balanced. Proper music.
The first trill, I hear that first trill and brain go Scriabin 6.
Prometheus vibes
really really great composition!
i remember the first time i heard prometheus live. changed my life man this sounds the same

Someone's been addicted to Prometheus lately
This is four years old so I’ve overcome that addiction at this point.
@@MasonIshidaeveryone’s addicted to Scriabin at some point 😉 great stuff!
@@MasonIshida I hope you didn't start to dislike it or be indifferent to it
0:52 ah my DSCH radar is beeping
cool!! the very first gesture in the clarinet reminds me a little bit of Vogel als Prophet
Oh, I’m not familiar with that.
@@MasonIshida Listening only to Scriabin and unfamiliar with basic Schumann... I can only shake my head.

Wow beautiful i wish i could compose like that. But i think its more about playing scriabins music than reading a treatise on the style.

Thank you!
its a great introduction do you plan to write the rest? to continue it?

berg op.1 opening?
I think I might have been working on Berg op. 1 around the time I wrote this, so I wouldn’t be surprised if some of that influence made it in.
Very able piece!
@@UtsyoChakraborty oh wow you’re here thank you for listening!
very cripsy harmonies thank u
Deep fried music?
(Thanks for listening!)
@@MasonIshida more vibrant but yes
what made you have the urge to post this 4 year old work.
I wanted to upload some music so I can share it with people. I don’t think it’s at all unusual to upload a four year old work.
This is such disrespect to scriabin
Why?

As the description says, this was merely “an attempt to evoke his harmony” I don’t by any means think this an accurate imitation as it’s an entirely incomplete work that I did as a homework assignment and the chord progressions are somewhat different from Scriabin.

No it isn't. Not at all.
You don’t need to apologise. All music is derivative. Always.
