arensky, do you play Jazz music, i ask because it has that jazz quality, it might be just the music.
LOL, the ads; "Climb Mt. Kilamanjaro"
Must be the "silvery sheets of ice" from lisztisforkids; cool comment BTW, although my vision is tropical, in Jamaica or India or some such place.
Yes I do play Jazz, as much as I play "Classical". I think what you're hearing is the harmonic and melodic structure of the piece, which resembles Jazz of the 1950's . The day after this performance a piano student asked me "was that by Gershwin?" (no written program). I thought that was a very good answer. Many Jazz pianists since the 1920's. including Bix Beiderbecke (better known for his trumpet but an extraordinary and innovative jazz pianist), Errol Garner, Billy Strayhorn, George Shearing, Bill Evans and Herbie Hancock among many others acknowledge Debussy, Ravel and Scriabin as influences on their own harmonic language or style. In fact Bill Evans recordrd a Scriabin piece, with orchestra like a small Concerto. The result unfortunately was pretentious muzak...
Micheal Brecker wrote a piece called "Scriabin", which has more to do with late Scriabin than this middle period which this Poem op.32 #1 is from, and which often reminds listeners of Jazz.
Anyway I hope it is the piece that sounds like Jazz, not my playing; when I play Jazz, I might occasionally be thinking about Scriabin, but not the other way around!
