  • Scriabin's sonata sounds like Scarlatti by Hamelin.

    Oh my GOD....

  • very well done

  • @aguyfromtexas and that's not even the worst of it...sigh. Great music comes at a price.

  • Sadly, that's actually one of the easier parts of this monster-of-a-piece! :P

  • That's a given. The analytical mind, say as in plotting on graph paper 45 increments for a 5 against 9 flamme. You'd necessitate brain hemorrhage making sure each round of the other was equidistant to the other competing rhythm-flow. So, you invent a common beat and maintain that for both hands. Easier said than done. Right. But that's analysis. What you need is a left only and right only until complete off the trainer wheel. Then take the bike for a real spin down to Scriabin's house.

  • I don't know if you were replying to me in earnest or channeling Scriabin's spirit. I hope the latter.

    All I meant is that five against four rhythms and six against five rhythms are intimidating - all the more so when there is a rest involved in one of the rhythms.

  • So, you're saying the primary method of mental mockup-playback is less real than the visceral lean-on repetitive game of human programming? In terms of getting a job done. Silence is a part of imagination. When you play a piece through the 'minds eye' prone at night what is to prevent you from realizing a rest within the rhythmic structure/lowest common denominator/decomposition/reco­nstruction. Using a rest prior to sound is a necessary way of writing without a lot of overhead. Theme.

  • Scriabin's later music has terrifying rhythms to calculate! And he loves to have one of the rhythms begin with a rest.

  • 5:17 to 5:23 is amazing. I almost cried when I saw that 4 on 3 rhythym in the music lol.
