Alexander Scriabin: Sonatas The first three of Scriabin’s ten published sonatas are in a Romantic style, reminiscent of Chopin and Liszt, but undoubtedly with Scriabin´s unique voice present from the beginning.
The brief Fourth Sonata marks an important transition for the composer: musically, he was moving ever closer toward atonality, while his personal life was marked by the deepening complexity of his theosophical ponderings.
Beginning with the fifth, Scriabin´s sonatas have no key signature and consist of only a single movement. The Seventh Sonata, Scriabin’s own favourite and nicknamed “The White Mass”, stands on the threshold of serialism.
With the ninth, so-called "Black Mass Sonata", Scriabin’s journey to his own particular brand of atonality is complete. The violence and menacing harmonies of this sonata, whose colourful subtitle is the composer´s own, are said to have shocked and frightened even the composer himself.

 Scriabin editions

Which editions are best to purchase? I'm looking for Op. 6 Sonata º1 and Op. 30 Sonata º4.
Don't say Henle Verlag, because they haven't published these yet, and won't until 2012 or something (I wrote to the editor), god damn them.

Good recording of the scriabin sonatas?

Last Friday, I was lucky enough to see Sokolov play Scriabin's tenth sonata, it was a truly transcendental performance. The bass notes in the first theme were played with such a delicacy, the harmonies this created were pure bliss...
The next day, i listened to Ashkazy's recording and I was, erm, mildly disappointed. The sound of this Decca recording is just awful. The trills (and the high register in general) sound as if Vlad was having some fun with (saucepan) lids, and the sound is blurred and bangy.
Now... My question: what's your favourite recording of the tenth and of Scriabin's sonatas in general?
I already have Pletnev's CD (sonata #10 with the préludes op 11 etc) and Volodos' (Carnegie Hall) but even these interpetations are dwarfed by Sokolov. (NB as far as I know he's only released sonata #3).

want to hear your opinions

i have the hamelin set which is excellent and some richter recordings.
i have the ashkenzy set too but i think he plays is poorly both techincally and musically.
richter is also superb at scriabin.. especially at the 2,9 sonatas.

| What customers said about pianostreet.com: |
"All of my students are members of Pianostreet and many of my teacher colleagues have joined as well.
It is an excellent resource for students and teachers alike and there is very rarely any need to visit another website or music store in search of sheet music."

"As a frequent user of pianostreet.com I find it easy to navigate, great value for money and very professional. The pieces are all well-graded and the audio is really useful, especially for pieces not heard before. I have recommended the site to many of my friends who play the piano. Keep up the good work."

"I was in Poland the past summer to give 2 concerts. At the last minute they requested some Chopin, which I had not brought with me. So, I google-searched for classical downloads and found your site. I was able to print out excellent editions of the pieces I needed within minutes. To find the scores locally would have been inpossible as it was a smaller town, the nearest music store 45 minutes away."
Robert York, pianist

"Piano Street has been a wonderful tool to me as both a pianist and a piano teacher. I can browse the collection for pieces I want to play and/or have my students play. The difficulty rating system that Piano Street uses enables me to search by difficulty level for pieces at my students' various playing levels. It is helpful that many of the scores include an audio clip of the piece being played. I have recommended to my advanced students that they also join Piano Street since getting sheet music from there is a much less expensive alternative to ordering and paying for the music.
