Apart from his technical skill, he really has the gift of making the subtle logic of this complex music clear because he understands it from the inside.

Where dissonance is not dissonant . . . rather reality.

ad MsVaxxine: the music is certainly not atonal in the 2nd Viennese school meaning. However, Scriabin uses lots of open chords, in particular applying quartal harmonics and the like, which create patterns with the effect that the tonal centres that we hear in fact cheat us the moment we have recognized them.

I've read so many comments about this sonata here and both in Horowitz's and Sokolov's versions saying this is atonal? I just wanted to say I clearly hear tonal centres everywhere in this piece so I wouldn't call it atonal at all. Does anybody agree with me or am I losing my First Viennese School raised mind?

@Sylvain894 There's actually a lot of melody, only they are not so easy to memorize like for instance Chopin. Listen to this piece like 10 times and you'll start to recognise them, and get ahold of their beauty. Really, trust me. At first the only thing I could hear was an atonal mess...

I would love to learn this piece...

There's no melodies; maybe the second Vienna school (And Schoenberg) been inspirated by theses « music » !! Or Ravel ??

Me too! And he was amazing indeed, I enjoyed every second of it despite the annoying coughs at moments.
