Thought I would share a couple more short piano pieces. Scriabin wrote many preludes during his lifetime, including a set of twenty-four preludes (Op.11). Today, I've enjoyed listening to a shorter opus of just two preludes.
Two Preludes, Op.27
I. Patetico (g)
II. Andante (B)
Scriabin's later works are characterized by extremely complex rhythmic and harmonic ideas, many of which are difficult to describe with the typical Roman numeral analysis used commonly to understand Classical and Romantic era music.
Before his ventures into atonality along with mystic themes, Scriabin's works (like this set of preludes) were much more driven by existing musical conventions, though it is clear from just these two works, that he pushed the limits within this harmonic language early on.
Hope you enjoy these two short pieces and see you next time!
