Also read the Oxford History of Western Music. Best books ever.

" I imagine myself in a dark caffe who everybody says it's apocalyptic but it never ends to everybody's pleasure. "

I'm not overly fond of this interpretation. What I like about late Scriabin seems to be to a large extent missing here. He doesn't make the most of the demonic tritones, or the knocks of fate and it's not chaotic enough for my taste. Mind you, who am I to criticize Gilels? He's great in just about everything else.

@doriotclaine I've listened to this piece a few times since I wrote that. I agree. The music does have structure. I occasionally get nightmares of lost souls in a mausaleum - this music plays in the background.

Dude, try reading the chapter on Scriabin in Richard Taruskin's amazing "Music in early twentieth century", it will help you a lot to understand these preludes which are entirely octatonic based. For further reading I recommand George Perle's "Scriabin's self analysis", in The Right Notes. That's really not random notes at all. It's highly structured.

what a bizarre interpretation of no. 3! So much for "allegro drammatico"
