An innovative contribution to Scriabin studies, covering aspects of
Scriabin's life, personality, beliefs, training, creative output,
and interaction with contemporary Russian culture. This book is an
innovative contribution to Alexander Scriabin (1872-1915) studies,
covering aspects of Scriabin's life, personality, beliefs,
training, creative output, as well as his interaction with
contemporary Russian culture. It offers new and original research
from leading and upcoming Russian music scholars. Key Scriabin
topics such as mysticism, philosophy, music theory, contemporary
aesthetics, and composition processes are covered. Musical coverage
spans the composer's early, middle and late period. All main
repertoire is being discussed: the piano miniatures and sonatas as
well as the symphonies. In more detail, chapters consider:
Scriabin's part in early twentieth-century Russia's cultural
climate; how Scriabin moved from early pastiche to a style much
more original; the influence of music theory on Scriabin's
idiosyncratic style; the changing contexts of Scriabin
performances; new aspects of reception studies. Further chapters
offer: a critical understanding of how Scriabin's writings sit
within the traditions of Mysticism as well as French and Russian
Symbolism; a new investigation into his creative compositional
process; miniaturism and its wider context; a new reading of the
composer's mysticism and synaesthesia. Analytical chapters reach
out of the score to offer an interpretative framework; accepting
new approaches from disability studies; investigating the complex
interaction of rhythm and metre and modal interactions, the latent
diatonic 'tonal function' of Scriabin's late works, as well as
self-regulating structures in the composer's music.
