Alexander Scriabin (1872-1915)
Piano Sonata No. 10 Opus 70 - (part 2/2)
Piano: Vladimir Horowitz (1903-1989)
Recorded at Carngie Hall, 1966.
The tenth piano sonata was written and premiered by the composer in 1913. It is a very psychedelic work that gives one the feeling of entering new worlds. It's written in perfect sonata form. Scriabin once called it: ''sonata of insects...'', this idea came from his philosophical ideas; the world (existence) is created by thought. These ideas are very compatible with not only Eastern philosophy, but also Quantum physics: the correlation between matter and ideas of parallel universes.
The enigmatic atmosphere of mystery and sensuousness through shimmering colors and tones evoke images of cosmic splendor!

That very last note - the low, unexpected one, just before the applause, amazes me. The brilliance of Scriabin, and the unparalleled insight Horowitz has with this music. No pianist knew better how to end a piece - one frequently hears the audience gasp.

I love the applause, even though it was cut off. At first it's tentative as the audience grapples with what they've heard, and then steadily builds until it's identical to a response to Horowitz playing the Star and Stripes Forever in the 1940s.
He said that he liked that kind of applause most, the one that begins with silence, because that meant he succeeded with the piece.
