'ts subjective. She may have a totally different perspective and not see it as contemplative. Or she sees it as contemplative, but her interpretation and musical expectations of what contemplative sounds like are different from yours.
@@AlfieTheProducer No. There may be a disconnect in both your conceptions and that's really all there is to it. At this level of subjectivity, I'd argue there's no such thing as 'right' or 'wrong'.
B H Scriabin was quite far removed from Rachmaninov. This sonata is still very romantic but it highlights the beginning of Scriabin’s transition into his own understanding of harmony and ultimately his conquest towards the mystery.
@@dz6374 that may be but he certainly surpassed it (the ending, I mean) I'd recommend Max Harrison's excellent book on Rachmaninoff/ Has quite a lot about his erstwhile classmate Scriabin. He liked his stuff and even gave concerts devoted exclusively to Scriabin's work (after Scriabin's death). Scriabin is OK but he never really attained the heights of Rachmaninoff, did he? His early works are just Chopin copies, ...whereas Rachmaninoff's were startlingly original from the word go (except for one or two songs, I suppose - but as of his opus 14 they were all also completely original). I quite like Scriabin's etude (the one Horowitz played often). But I could never bring myself to spend much time learning someone who is, when all is said and done, not really in the same league as Chopin, Schubert, Bach or Beethoven (or Rachmaninoff).
@@dz6374 You make some valid points. However, if you read that Max Harrison book you will find you may be slightly wrong about Rachmaninoff being as conservative as you (and most people) assume. He actually progressed in significant ways (eg op 32 compared to op 23, symphony 3 compared to no. 2, Paganini Rhapsody, concerto 4 - and this is what Harrison says in his book: p 350: 'Yet unlike Scriabin (who first sounded like Chopin) [...] Rachmaninoff [...] usually sounded only like himself [...].' I would still conjecture that Scriabin (whilst being, admittedly, slightly more 'innovative') is not at all in the same league as Rachmaninoff (from a general point of view - in terms, if you will, of music that will eternally be relevant to the human condition). Just compare these two erstwhile Moscow classmates' preludes. I and Daniel Trifonov attended Gnessin music school in Moscow at the same time. In the same way Trifonov is a superior musician to me - so Rachmaninov is, compared to Scriabin.
