Description: Op.11 No.9 composed in Moscow November 1895 Op.11 No.10 composed in Moscow 1894 From wikipedia.org Prelude Op.11 No.9 in E major and Prelude Op.11 No.10 in C sharp minor can be played as neo-romantic,impressionistic, and twentieth-century repertoire in a Royal Conservatory of Music grade nine examination. Alexander Scriabin's Prelude Op.11 No. 10 is in C sharp minor is 20 bars long and takes under a minute and a half to play. It is marked at Andante. It has two sections of mysterious major seventh intervals and tritone harmonies, split up by a lyrical E Major section. Like many of Scriabin's slower pieces, it is played very rubato. The first section is, as mentioned, very mysterious, as Scriabin employs many tritones and seventh intervals which do not fall into the key of C sharp minor. The first 8 bars feature modulations to D sharp minor and F sharp minor. The ninth bar, marked con anima, introduces an E major melody using more conventional harmonies, but the piece only delves yet again deeper into the depths of the mystery four bars later. Here, marked fortississimo, the initial melody comes out in full force using the broad tessitura scope of the piano. At the seventeenth bar, the piece calms to quiet block chords of F sharp minor, C sharp minor-7,and B major-9 (without the bass B), finally resolving to an arpeggiated final C sharp minor chord, reminiscent of the ninth prelude immediately preceding this one. This shows Scriabin's ability to find commonality in his most diverse works.

Also, the video itself if great too. The pictures of the universe really adds a feeling to the music... Original idea of you! *Favorite Greetings! __________________________________________________
LVB1770 ::: Favorites  2007-11-23 20:22:43 Thanks so much MoonTribe! I got the idea for pictures of the universe because that is where I go when I play Scriabin, to another universe! Have you heard Nageeb Gardizi play Scriabin? I like his playing. You should search you tube for Aimi Kobayashi. Even her playing at 4 years old shows a maturity that many adults professionals don't have. She is a miracle! Happy Holidays to you! __________________________________________________
