hearing the original chromatic descending pattern in the original tempo at the end right after the craziness made me laugh.

I'm sorry Horowitz that your beautiful recording had to be almost completely ruined by some idiot coughing.. the WHOLE TIME

Scriabin was ahead of his time, his compositions remind me of the impressionist style but he wrote this stuff in the romantic period
-
It is so sick :D.

Could hear some Vers la Flamme around 2 mins.

This is a piece demonstrating the genius of Scriabin.
If Debussy were to paint something, he would be (most of the time) really specific about it. If it was Scriabin, he would simply throw a bunch of paint all over the wall and leave it alone for us to interpret and understand its beauty and meaning. Remarkably, all the interpretations that we have are different from each other.

In my opinion I find this peice...well...frightening...i
n a sense that it captures it so nicely...its full of a feeling of doom and a foul, putrid stench of death...it paints it so vividly that is just absolutly a wonderful peice of art that no one can come close to. like most of his peices such as Desir, and a ton of his Poeme's they are so very dreamy and hypnotic...I absolutly love them... 4 months ago 3

the fast part of the last part remember still to Chopin, I think

He said that his music have demonic faces.

@diekaiser7 You have a point there, perhaps I was wrong to say that the sonata is "atonal" because it certainly has a focus (as you have mentioned, the mystic chord). What I meant was that its style deviates from the traditional minor/major tonalities.

Insane piece. Vivid portrayal of toxicity and infection: the triplet cell poisoning the piece.. the worm-like writhing at 1:11... the way the lyrical melody from 2:07 is slowly corrupted and raped by the evil in this Sonata. The Piu Vivo near the end reminds me of balls of maggots bursting from a corpse. Terrible terrible imagery.
Ugh, time to bleach my mind with some Mozart and Bach.
