Scriabin's Four Preludes were composed between August 1918 and March 1919. The son of Alexander Scriabin, Julian (1908-1919) was a child prodigy and showed remarkable promise as a composer. His four preludes written when he was just eleven indicate his father's influence, particularly the transition phase from the middle to late period (Op. 50s). Some scholars doubt these complex preludes are written by Julian, but are rather unpublished works his father probably composed in 1907. Despite the doubt surrounding their authorship, these four preludes are potent and mature miniatures, which, if truly composed by an eleven year old, must leave us in awe and wonder. Julian drowned in a boating accident and we can only imagine what this young composer might have created had he lived longer. These preludes were published for the first time 95 years after his death by Edition Octoechos.

The loss of a young talent seems a glaring injustice... and arouses sympathy and sadness...

How beautiful!

Sergio, when will you post Villa-Lobos’s symphonies?

Possibly sometime in the far future, right now several other composers have been requested that I will share before.
