Women and the Chopin Competition: Breaking Barriers in Classical Music

The piano, a sleek monument of polished wood and ivory keys, holds a curious, often paradoxical, position in music history, especially for women. While offering a crucial outlet for female expression in societies where opportunities were often limited, it also became a stage for complex gender dynamics, sometimes subtle, sometimes stark. From drawing-room whispers in the 19th century to the thunderous applause of today’s concert halls, the story of women and the piano is a narrative woven with threads of remarkable progress and stubbornly persistent challenges.

Less famous Scriabin works

on: March 03, 2021, 11:19:27 PM

Hey all 👋,

It's unfortunate how Scriabin so many unknown masterworks like his Fantasy op 28, Polonaise op 24, Allegro de concert,... Would anyone be able to suggest some more pieces that are less famous but still very Scriabin. I tend to like his "louder" works but feel free to suggest any.

Thanks in advance,
Leeky

He has many pieces that seem to be less well known than, well, the most famous ones. Several opuses of Preludes, Morceaux, Nocturnes, Poémes, Mazurkas, Impromtus, Etudes etc etc, some are in his youthful tonal style, others are in his later mystic style. Many of them are worth hearing.

Fantasy in b minor! Far too underrated. I'm practising this right now.

Brilliant! Just a hint at the works AS would come to have created.

If my docket weren't pretty full of Scriabin I'm just pulling together, this would be at the list.

Regardless, I will look forward to at least reading through this relatively soon.

Thanks! Never knew this piece existed!
