- The 4th Piano Sonata Op. 30 is somewhat of a turning point in Scriabin's production, where he starts to leave the tonal world behind to reach something new. This music is a challenge, not only to play and perform, but to analyze as well. Pianist Henrik Kilhamn gives it his best shot in this episode.

wonderful analysis. I love this sonata (well I love pretty much everything by Scriabin). What I love about this sonata is how much is packed into around 10 minutes playing. Dreamy, fragrant moods followed by dancing, groovy, almost jazzy and finally an erotic, climactic ending - which is the original 1st movement melody. It's just remarkable Scriabin genius.
OMG YES this is my favorite sonata I’m so excited
It’s virtually impossible to name the most important of Scriabin’s sonatas. They must be listened to chronologically by any aspiring pianist, in my opinion. The fourth is often said to be the first major indicator of Scriabin’s completely vertical trajectory into the cosmos and it is mostly true - it is at least his first mystical and transcendental of his sonatas though I’d argue he makes his ambitions more than clear in slightly earlier works. A piece that also encompasses everything Scriabin offers in his music - longing, light and ecstasy. Its beginning is ever so fragile yet transforms steadily, resulting in a climax of divine self-assurance and confidence. A sonata that is surpassed only by Scriabin’s 5th and 8th.
I really liked this Sonata, I didn't know it yet. I also got to know the famous Tristan chord that you said at 5:25.🤔👏♥️♥️♥️♥️♥️♥️♥️
You look a little like Shostakovitch yourself.
Thank you for always insightful analysis.
YEEEEESSSSS YOU DID IT! This is a great analysis of what I believe to be Scriabin's most seminal work and my favorite sonata in the whole of the piano repertoire. I am so grateful for all the work that you do on this channel and I hope that once I start making a little more money, and this semester of college ends, I will be able to contribute to this channel. I also see you hit 10k! Congratulations on a well earned milestone and I can't wait to see you hit 100k and beyond!
Yes, it's really something! I might have the 5th slightly higher as a favourite, because it feels like he finds something in the 4th that he builds on to be even richer in the 5th (many similarities!), but then he leaves some of the pure joy and playfulness that is almost unmatched in the 4th (2nd mvt of course).
That is very kind of you, it sounds like a responsible plan to make money before you give it away :)
Scriabins fourth. Phenomenal. Great video.
Amazing analysis!!
WHAa one of my favourite sonatas of all time! Awesome video!
This sonata is awesome! Probably my favorite video so far!
My favourite Scriabin sonata! Thank you so much for posting such great videos!
Loved it :) i cant wait to see you analize his 5th sonata!
Awesome ❤❤ Thanks for this analisys! 👏👏👏 impressive how your channel presents the videos, with the beautiful imagens according to the theme, even the history and the poem!! This is really Art, and I appreciate too much❤❤❤
Yes!! I’ve been hoping you would analyze a middle period Scriabin sonata!
Thanks a lot Henrik for all this amazing content. You really are a gem in the classical TH-cam.
Thank you, it's my pleasure!
Mr, the way you analyse a piece, the way you manouver around the keyboard... You are everything I've been looking for. I love Chopin and I love the depth he gives but found myself having noone around me to share the interest with. You helped me start seeing a piece with more feeling and clarity. Thank you for the hard work and please keep it up! Also, suggestion: try the nocturne op.27 no1 - very dark and melancholic.
Finally it's here, good video
Finally! I needed this. :)
Awesome sonata 😍
Please can you do the analysis of the rachmaninoff's op 34 n 14.
One of my favourite piece
Yes please.
Many requests of this lately ;) I love the vocalise too, have played it a lot with both cello and violin but not piano solo...
Love! Great Video. More of this kind! Scriabin is underrated or even unknown by many.
Thank you!
Can't wait for the 2nd movement 😍
amazing video
Finally, the ultimate sonata
I would die if you ever analyze the 8th sonata. xD
Or the seventh 😊
@@AsrielKujo 8th best.
@@Ivan_1791 o
Yes, the 8th is my favourite sonata!
@@Ivan_1791 agree
What are your thoughts on Carl Maria von Weber? I'm just starting to explore his music and I really like it. His third piano sonata in D minor would be a great piece for an analysis video IMO.
Awesome
Great work! I'd love to see one on Drozdov's "Au Tombeau de Rachmaninoff"
Please do the 5th Sonata as well!
And the 8th (which is my favourite!)
Love your videos. Love this sonata. Question: How much do you think a composer - any composer - thinks of theory when composing? If at all.
Great question! I'm not sure, since I don't write music myself, and I think it's different between different composers. Sometimes the music might come from improvisation inspirition, in which case you don't need to know much about the theory, only how it feels and fits while playing. In this case, I'm sure Scriabin was aware of all these ambiguities in the harmony that he experiments with. But I also think that's not a driving force when composing, more like you find a pure musical idea and try to set it to notes, and then somehow it fits into the theoretical framework as well. But as I said I don't really know...
Music is a language. How much do you think of grammar when speaking ?
Excellent analogy. We know that many modern pop composers couldn't even read notation. Let alone understand theory. Broadway's Jerry Herman composed all his hit musicals only by ear. The great tenor Pavarotti sang by ear and never learned to read a score. He learned new operas by listening to recordings and working with a piano coach.@@caillou.musique
I love you.
You did a little oopsie in bar 56, it's e# instead of f# in the left hand!:)
Scriabin sounds so different
Isn't the Tristan Chord with a G and D sharp, on top of the B and F natural, instead of A and D natural, like you played?
That would be another Tristan chord with F as the root (F-B-D#-G#). This one here has B as the root (B-F-A-D), they both share those two notes but not the others.
@@SonataSecrets
Ah okay, yes of course! I got confused because both had F and B in them.
Makes sense. Thanks for the explanation (and the great video!)
Where are you from?
I think you sound swedish. (Jag är svensk)
Are you scandinavian?
Jag är från Göteborg :)
@@SonataSecrets oooh, jag med! Då var det inte konstigt att vi låter lika...
