Especially interesting that Szymanowski was interested in Scriabin at this time, because in 1904, Scriabin was about as avant-garde as music got, at least from my knowledge.
@@Dichweed Yeah...I would say more like...Definitely Chopin with Stanchinsky...Fragoso, despite the sad boy not living long...and also Late Liszt. Of Course, Szymanowski was young and I am reasonably confident he hadn't quite figured out his "best" musical style as he did later on.
Szymanowski seems to integrate his disparate influences quite well in this piece, but the end was not at all what I expected. A big fat V-I cadence straight out of Beethoven seems trite compared to the rest.
