Very romantic, very dark, almost tortured in emotional complexity. So difficult to separate all the voices... and to keep the resonances from becoming muddied by the tritones in the bass. Wow, what a great performance!
This sonata may be among the most important piano works of the early 20th century. There is so much emotion, mystery and power in it, tight thematic elaboration, and marvellous use of the instrument. And though it superficially reminds of Scriabin, it is quite original and rather different in character - more heroic and tragic, and not so much of Scriabin's languour, "celeste volupté" and "joie débordante"...
I loved this music , but it ain't important if it hasn't been heard, changed anything or been influential in some respects. It's so close to Scriabin's world while also having true vision and perhaps a sound world a teeny bit different.
But even more accurately, it really captures the spirit of the noxious diarrhea shits he took from eating too much pryanik. That crazy Russian, he always was a comedian.
@Tenta Cool I think that there's a quote of the running fourths in the Allegro Agitato from the 8th Sonata. I don't really hear the "eightness" (I suppose you mean the 8th's uniqueness and more introverted quality compared to the other late Scriabin sonatas). I find the 8th to be almost... joyous? But this Sonata by Sabaneyev is considerably more dark and tragic.
I was looking really hard on the internet but I just can't find his mathematical dissertation. I'd really like to know which field he specialized in (before really starting as a composer)
Wow! This is fantastic music. But it's also an example of why 8 out of 10 instrumentalists only present the same boring presentations of preWW2 music. Do we really need another Waldstein that sounds like da last one we heard? It takes a genius to find new things to say in traditional repertoire. Sadly, Pogorelich andPletnev andSokolov find things that maybe could never be found in old music but it's glorious work and this may be a way to get more serious listeners into a hall without having the highest priced celebrities .
Fascinating music. It's very comforting to see more attention being given to Sabaneyev. Huge shout out to Michael Schäfer for releasing two volumes of his piano works. Especially the second volume, which is very musically dense. You're doing some wonderful work here on your channel and I hope to see more uploads of unsung composers in the future!
@@toothlesstoe Wow, that's great! Is it for sale on the internet somewhere? I know J. Powell's recording is available, but I've yet to find Schafer's. Thanks. And thanks also to all of your fantastic UA-cams.
Thanks for introducing me to Sabaneyev.

@@MrInterestingthings Read the fucking title, you moron.
@@MrInterestingthings There's such a thing as intrinsic quality - which is important in itself.
Rarely do I agree with anyone in a Classical music forum - but I definitely agree with this.
I really can't agree. But it's a good piece.
Dear God that climax after 14:12 is absolutely stunning
Lmao I wrote a similar comment and then I saw yours
Scriabin is your dog
@Shostacovid-19 is it though
@Sabaneyev Is My Kitten thanks
14:12 is just AMAZING! This sonata is so great.
Damn its like three scriabin sonatas in one long chunk
Amazing... Thanks for uploading this
14:12 My friends said that this climax was amazing, magical, and stunning. So did I.
We can all agree that 14:12 is fantastic.
Capture's the spirit of Scriabin's 6th sonata.
...as well as the 7th and 8th.
But even more accurately, it really captures the spirit of the noxious diarrhea shits he took from eating too much pryanik. That crazy Russian, he always was a comedian.
@@braceyourself3537 Aww, you sound hurt. This music certainly does its job of triggering useless degenerates like you.

@Tenta Cool What seems to be missing is the 10th's ethereal feeling, am I right?
This is amazing ❤️
charmante !
Oh my god the section that begins at 14:13 is so magical
I was looking really hard on the internet but I just can't find his mathematical dissertation. I'd really like to know which field he specialized in (before really starting as a composer)
Me too certainly! Did you find out since by any chance?
Vers la flamme :)

Did you even read the title? This is an homage. What the fuck did you expect, exactly?
are you going to record any late Scriabin in the future?
probably
@@toothlesstoe looking forward to it then. not trying to flatter or anything, but with your technique you'll definitely master his (my) late Sonatas

Is this on CD? If so, Amazon does not carry it, only volume 1 sans this sonata.
Yes.

@@toothlesstoe I found it. Nevermind me! Sorry.
