Most beautiful piece of Scriabin

[presto agitato]

Hello.
In your opinion, what is the most beautiful piece of Scriabin?
My vote goes for his little prelude num. 15 in D flat major Op 11.
It is so charming!!

I'd like to know your opinions please.

See you.

Difficult question to answer.  Perhaps Sonata No. 8 - those harmonies!

[redbaron]

Etude in F minor, Op 42, No 7

[rv]

Prometheus, The Poem of Fire

[cranston53]

The Andante from his third sonata is, in my opinion, one of the most beautiful pieces of music in the entire keyboard repetoire.

[presto agitato]

More opinions please.

[redbaron]

The B major prelude Op 11, No 11 is irresistably romantic.
Sonata No 4 has a definite exoticism to it.

[cocoterra]

My vote: Sonata No 3 F-sharp minor
One is tempted to cast more than one vote when it comes to beautiful pieces by Scriabin

[mnmleung]

Etude op 42 no 5 gets my vote.

[hugoagogo13]

His piano concerto in F sharp minor and his 5th piano sonata

[pies]

Sonata no. 9 performed by Horowitz

[nanabush]

2nd sonata first movement!!!!

Desire and caresse dansee are very interesting. Listen a few times and you'll start catching those stacking 4ths and all the rich harmonies that accompany them.

I agree with the 8th sonata... Those runs of parallel 4ths in the right hand are so mysterious! It's perfect in the atmosphere of the piece.

I just listened to the concerto. Gorgeous!
Second movement

Also agree with sonata 2 part 1

[lhommearme]

I had never really listened to Scriabin before but all these post inspired me to take a listen.I like what I am hearing.

[pianoplayjl]

Etude op 2 no 1

[philb]

I just love his piano concerto. It's very easily equal with the great Rachmaninoff concertos.

[pianoplayjl]

I like his op 8 no 12 too.

[stoudemirestat]

Piano Concerto.

[pianoplayjl]

Is the concerto a tonal work?

[49410enrique]

doesn't get a lot of attention but the etude in F# from Op 42 (no 4) is just plain lovely to listen to, i don't get tired of it.

it's probably a more fair question to ask for favorites from each 'compositional' period, since although they're all great 'ice cream' we've definitely got very different 'groups of flavors' to choose from.

[pianoplayjl]

And his op 43 no 5

[rv]

this little piece is a beauty too

Prelude Op. 17 no. 3

[pianoplayjl]

Wow, nice one. Another one, although doesn't fit the description of beautiful: prelude no 14 from op 11.

[rv]

Prometheus, The Poem of Fire

But in the end I'll stick with this one AND the Poem of Ecstasy Op. 54
Two monumental pieces of art I've been listening to many dozens of times in the last months.
I can't get enough of them. It has enriched my life.
(I recommend the recordings from Riccardo Muti and the Philadelphia orchestra)

[pianoplayjl]

Most of his preludes, mazurkas and etudes are Ok. Haven't heard his sonatas though.

[rv]

Symphony No. 1 is very beautiful as well. 

Here is the final choral part:

[pianoplayjl]

his sonata no7 sees ok.
