Toward the Flame: Boris Petrushansky’s Journey Through Scriabin’s Universe

Alexander Scriabin died in April 1915, at forty-three, of a fever that took him within a week — leaving his great mystical project unfinished.

In a new album and an extended conversation with Piano Street, he traces Scriabin’s path from the early Preludes to the final, shattering Op. 74. Read more

Urgent Beethoven op. 101 Question
on: August 03, 2008, 09:00:37 PM
The third movement (or the introduction to the finale, if you like) of Beethoven's Sonata in A Major, op. 101, is partially a quotation of a major choral work of Bach - I can't remember which and can't find the source that I read it in.  Does anyone know/remember?

Thanks in advance for your help,

Michael

It's the first movement of the trio sonata from Bach's A Musical Offering BWV 1079.
Don't let anyone know where you tie your goat.
