Thank you so much for the analysis - I went from confusion when I first heard it, then to appreciating the mystical and dual melody lines, but your analysis helps me appreciate his ingenious artistry in a much deeper way. I’ve chosen this etude for my exam, will visit this video as I progress. Thank you 🙏
I love your analysis of this piece. Comparison to "quantum states" is a wonderful analogy! When I first learned this piece, I wondered why the left-hand part was written "backwards," top to bottom, making the harmonies so unclear in many places. If it had been an unknown composer instead of Scriabin, I would have thought "this composer is some kind of dunce!" One small thing I think of differently from your analysis is the chord in the third measure (and others places like it), which I think of as a B minor 7th chord, with the C# being an appogiatura, instead of a D major seventh, mainly because the "shell chord" for Bmi7 (B to A) is in the bass (not including the F-sharp pedal point).
Thanks youtube in giving me this content advice after having made on my channel a little variation of this piece. And thanks to Sonata Secrets for the analysis.
You can also "hear" the opening chord as a V going to I in F#M, not merely a 9th chord. And personally, I hear the chord in the third bar as bm7, not DM7, especially if you think of the soprano C# as an appoggiatura resolving down to the B and the fact that the bass notes are B and F#. I love this etude, thanks for your insights.
Check out Dernova's work on Scriabin. She disproves the "quartal" and "mystic chord" harmonic analyses and instead shows that Scriabin uses what she calls the the "w" and "v" added notes (13 and #9) for color and modulations. She proves that Scriabin is always using traditional harmonic movement, albeit quite complicated.
That was quite a beautiful explanation of Scriabin 🎶 musics. I just watch an equally neat story of his life. He saw mystical ideas beyond ordinary in light of all kinds. Thank you so much. The title was .."Scriabin-Towards the Light" Have you seen it.

Thank you so much for his explanation, it helps to better understand the music theoretically, very usefull. Do you also intend to do a video on other etuded of scriabin, in particular op.42 nr 5, or op.8 nr 12?
Loving the Scriabin content! i hope this channel blows up soon cause you put a lot of effort with editing and everything. keep it up Henrik!
Thanks! It's growing a lot atm actually. And I will definately return to Scriabin in the future.
This video should have millions of views. And this channel millions of subs.
Gosh❤️
Thanks Musicofilo! There might not be millions of Scriabin fans out there (yet), but I'm hoping the channel will continue to grow!
Sonata Secrets i love Skrjabin, THE CHANNEL WILL GROW. Keep going!!
Downloading this score right now because of you! Amazing playing and teaching
I'm learning this etude, i love it. The line of the left hand is amazing.
Thank you! A beautiful lesson. All the elegance and tenderness of Scriabin are here in this piece with his new ideas adding delicious subtlety.👍

Great video and love your Scriabin content. So enlightening and educational. Your playing is excellent too.
Love this content, can't wait to see you analyzing his op 51 no 1, for me it was same atmosphere at this video. Great analysis, loved it!! ❤❤
Wonderful piece and explanation. Makes me want to learn it, after finishing op.2 no.1. Keep it up!
Most appreciative of your art and erudition. Flummoxed this has been out for a year yet hasn't yet hit 1000 views!!
Thank you, I'm glad you like it! It's not a very known piece, I'm happy that it's almost 1000 that's now more familiar with it ;)
@@SonataSecrets I have the Horowitz rendition looping as one of my prized "thinking music" tracks :) Must have heard it a thousand times by now :)
One of Scriabin's best and most original works. Amazing video!
Absolutely! Thanks :)
I really enjoyed this and and you did an outstanding job....I’ve spent many hours breaking down his music as well...
thank you so much for your explanations! I am learning from you

that's the probled with retroactive analysis, most often it's wrong.
Excellent, thank you.
Can't state how nostalgic I feel when I hear this prelude
I mean, etude

Have you seen it.
Yes, I came across it on TH-cam, such a good documentary!!
It’s good to analize the chord progression
Fascinating !
Thank you!
Thanks ❤️❤️❤️
I'm a Scriabin fan now!
U HAVE to do opus 42 no 5 ^^
That's a very cool but hard piece.

Op 8 no 12 is on the list so some time in the future!
@@SonataSecretsowww thank you Henrik for today's upload! 😊 You kept your word 😉
The melody in the beginning sort of reminds me of bortkiewicz's op 33 no 7. Maybe i'm crazy but I wonder if he was alluding to this etude.
yes but my mum doesn't let me practice Scriabin lol. I have to go borrow my friend's piano
3:12 b minor 9th not d major 7th
Can you do an analysis Scriabin Op 8 No 9 please?
I haven't played that one, but it's very cool, like a call of war. Also a bit similar to Rachmaninoff prelude in E minor op 32 no 4.
op42 no5 please!
It’s a 69 chord hehe 4:43
he even seems to correct himself "it's a sixty.. six NINE chord! "
I DONT UNDERSTAND
