@@elleboman8465 Hollywood music (Esp. the modern ones) rely on technology a lot to create the effect. Scriabin had three things, pen, paper, and genius!
I also noticed this. If cymbals we're needed here Skriabin would have scored them. As it now is the noise is exactly at the predicted spot and if one thing characterises Skr it is unpredictability. So indeed a bad idea to add this.
@@ContemporaryClassical It's because clarinet is a transposing instrument. Bb clarinets sound a whole step lower than written, and A clarinets a minor 3rd lower. To get a C major scale on a Bb clarinet for example, youd have to write in D major.
I honestly didn't study the score that much but maybe it's simply A where he needs that additional low note plus nice colour in the low register and B where he doesn't since it's more standard.
