Piano Sonata No. 5 (Scriabin)

The one-movement Piano Sonata op 5 53 of the Russian composer and pianist Alexander Scriabin ( 1872-1915 ) in 1907 originated.

Formation

The composition of the 5th Piano Sonata Op 53 was the end of 1907, despite the lower opus number shortly after completion of the orchestral work Le Poème de l' Extase, Op 54 The inner connection between the two works is thus clear that the musical text of the Scriabin Sonata (which he initially designated as " poem "), a motto prefaced that the extensive poem Le Poème de l' Extase stems, which was developed in close connection to his op 54. It reads in translation from the original French:

But since Scriabin felt his previous main publishing, music publishing MP Belaieff, pay him for low fees, even the 5th sonata in 1908 appeared alongside other piano pieces this time, self-published (because of the high costs and financial losses he soon came back from this procedure from ). The premiere of the 5th Piano Sonata was on 18 November 1908 in Moscow by the pianist Mark Meitschik instead.

Characterization

The movement sonata, marked Allegro. Impetuoso. Con Stravaganza has a duration of almost 11 to 12 minutes.

The comprehensive 471 clocks work is based on an extended sonata form. The usual sequence ( exposition, development, recapitulation ) is a prologue with its own thematic material upstream, which is also addressed in the implementation. The first prologue motif, beginning in the lower register trill figuration that aufschnellt increasingly Accelerando up in the treble of the piano, in turn concludes the work.

The self- conscious gesture of sonata with call - and signal-like motifs - and there are also lyrical and wistful ( Languido ) passages - is underlined by expression marks such as " imperioso ", " quasi trombe imperioso ", " presto giocoso " or " estatico ". It is also the last sonata of Scriabin in keys ( F sharp major ) is even hinted at from the signs.
