  • why do people like this music? I am not denouncing it whatsoever, I am just trying to understand and further the spectrum of my musical appreciation. Do people only listen to it in certain contexts? certain moods or times? Thanks.

  • Well, what is there to dislike about it? If you want to enjoy it, just close your eyes and clear your mind. This is not difficult music. There is plenty of difficult music that I have shared, but this is not one of those pieces.

  • where was this recorded?

  • casals hall in tokyo, 1997

  • How can a man write such a thing?

    I find this way more fantastic, than any of Schnittke works....

  • @nevermind0143 I completely understand what you're saying. I think the thing is you have to follow a certain kind of path to it. It does hit you at some point - and at other times it's unlistenable. I would say maybe if you want to pursue it, try Ravel's Gaspard de la Nuit. That's got the same kind of tense but tender tone.

  • @nevermind0143 why do some people like tuna sandwichs and others prefer an italian sub? It just comes down to personal preference I think.

  • @jre58591 not difficult?? I dont think so.... my favorite scriabin sonata (also the 9th)

  • @nevermind0143

    Why is the moon?

  • @trntlobne I think he meant "difficult" as in "difficult to comprehend" :)

  • @nevermind0143

    I got obsessed over Scriabin because of this piece and, guess what, I didn't like it the first time I heard it.

    I had to listen to it several times. I recommend late at night at dim light and perhaps another recording as this one is a little unclear.
