Indeed...this will be endless. Now what's stuck in the head and what represents the mood can be two different things... ;D

I have all these fragments that go round and around...right now it's Rickelton's Fanfare, Roussel's 3rd symphony, Birtwistle's The Axe Manual, and sometimes the finale of Mahler 10...just swirling around. But my mood is more, "Oh what a beautiful morning, oh what a beautiful day..."

(It's afternoon here, btw).

Cool thread.

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. He left behind a piano language no one had spoken before, one that a century later still questions every interpreter who approaches it. Boris Petrushansky has spent a lifetime preparing his answer. 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
