3:59 I remember hearing something like this in en avril a paris

Very beautiful, nice find

[@Kris9kris]

Very interesting. Russian late-romanticism combined with some of the evocative harmonic language of the early modernists.

Thanks, Toe ;)

[@SCRIABINIST]

Russian themes mixed with French harmonies

[@PianoMaster221]

Why do I feel like this was inspired by Liszt's sonata to a degree? Something about some of the textures and general ideas.

[@toothlesstoe]

I don't hear Liszt in this, only Skryabin and traces of Debussy.

[@MegaMcmara]

@@toothlesstoe Influenced by Scriabin and Debussy, but the end result is unquestionably Golovanov.

[@alvincheung8288]

I hear quite much Ravel in this - the opening is just strikingly similar with the opening of Ravel's Sonatina.

@@alvincheung8288 So funny, I played both this sonata and Ravel's Sonatine but never realised how similar their openings are. Thanks for pointing this out :)
