    A Political Science (of all things) Prof put me on to Scriabin in 1992. I thought i knew better than he. I was listening to Tchaikovsky and Wagner so I tucked his suggestion away.. Seven (7) years later I "took a chance." Now I regret that i belittled this man's offer to be enlightened by some beautiful music. Before he passed away I did get the chance to tell him of the errors of my ways. He nodded his head and said ... Me Too!! Much Love Dr. Micheal Mitchell (ASU Prof of Political Science). You left us too soon!!

      I sympathize with you completely. Unfortunately for me, I didn't get back to my actual old man with the goods he had offered me before he died. He offered me the wonders of manufacturing industries, which are every bit as great and high minded as the greatest in music. Manufacturing industries come first, before music, if music is to be brought to everybody, not just to the royalty and the rich.

      known fact that's highly unlikely. When's the last time you've met a hot chick that actually likes music that's made for ears? women want to belong in things that are popular. So if a song is good but not popular, they will not like it. It's sort of psychological. Quite sad i would say. If it's a Mozart society then it is much more likely we'll see some hot ladies in there but Scriabin? no one's even heard of him AHEM...

      I was just having some fun but you do raise a point about men's musical tastes vs. women's. In classical or rock, men are more likely to search out obscure, complex works while women go with the flow, more popular, romantic stuff. I think they just have different things on their minds. Odd because women are just as likely to have musical talent, singing or playing (but again, men seem to do most of the composing in any genre).

      Your lack of appreciation for other composers won't make Scriabin more famous than he is now. I certainly agree that he deserves better recognition, but don't be that narrow-minded fanboy who annoys everyone by insulting and making pointless statements about great people like Mahler (just to mention that I am far from Mahlerian fan, or at least not yet). Leave this obsession to yourself and maybe after getting over it try something else, or maybe the majority of classical music just isn't for you.
      By the way, extraordinary symphony!

    • @piotr9914
      @piotr9914 7 лет назад +1

      Ilyan McCann I've tried many things. Probably more things than you have. Maybe you're right that I'm picky. I also listen to EDM and have found myself to only like Trance (not too surprised since they share similar elements with Scriabin). I do have a very specific personal taste but it bothers me that there are passages that do not speak to me at all from Brahms and Mahler yet those are the passages in their symphonies (which I find boring and want to leave/pause at once) that 90% of the people would enjoy and talk about and be putting Scriabin under shadow. That's not cool with me at all. I will fight and talk condescendingly of Mahler and Brahms. Scriabin will gain (even just a little more) popularity because of me. Good thing we live in an era where there's youtube and we can freely express our opinions and comments.

    • @piotr9914
      @piotr9914 7 лет назад +2

      Ilyan McCann my "narrow-mindedness" is not due to ignorance nor having not ever tried other things besides Scriabin. The ones who see me as narrow-minded are usually the ones who have only been exposed to a limited amount of kinds of music out there in the world. And frankly enough most of them wouldn't know this guy: Myaskovsky. Or Frank Bridge. You ask anyone who's their favorite 20th century composer, they'll usually say bartok boulez stravinsky and you know the pattern. It's a shame what the academic circle in music are doing to the community.

    • @ilyanmccann1345
      @ilyanmccann1345 7 лет назад +2

      The key point is that Mahler and Brahms have nothing to do with the unfortunate lesser popularity of Scriabin. So by attacking them, the only thing you will achieve is a negative reaction toward yourself and possibly even your beloved composer. Obviously negative popularity shouldn't be attached to anyone and I assume this is not your goal. All I'm saying is that such approach is seriously flawed (so try finding another one), although the intention is quite noble and I support it. Also, has it occurred to you that you're among the very few people that find those passages boring or without any value? Meaning there is a reason for others to like them so much and by this statement I'm certainly not saying "popular is better". It means that great compositions deserve the appreciation they get precisely because of their quality. Another thing - if you want to pause and leave the page with a particular video - go ahead, this is exactly the thing you should do! Finally comes the ''narrow-minded" part which is directed at your lack of ability to distinguish personal preference (or the absence of it) from accurate statement. Trying to impose your musical taste on others by such naive (at best) means is certainly bound to achieving the exact opposite of the desired effect. There shouldn't be any contradiction about liking (or at least respecting) both Brahms and Scriabin (for example) - stating the opposite is "narrow-minded" (here we go again). Wish you all the luck with effectively popularizing Scriabin!
      P.S. Don't judge by my RUclips profile for the things I have or haven't tried.

    The year this was composed marked the beginning of one living hell of a century for the world (1900, first half at least). Whenever I come back to this symphony, I do feel its being liminal, "edgy", in its literal sense. Only, I can't tell whether it's a farewell to the romantic 1800s or a welcome to a new mysterious world. Or both :) who cares, it's just a mental stretch. Amazing work.

      Appreciate this pieces in the Scriabin late style! ruclips.net/video/mz5lSLvuUSc/видео.html
      and ruclips.net/video/nEOSPz9gB9s/видео.html
      This year, January 6 marked the 150th anniversary of the Birth of Alexander Nikolaevich Scriabin. He is the person closest to me and beloved by me in the whole world of art, a composer who immerses with his magical music into the worlds of "the highest refinement and the highest grandeur." Having deeply passed through all his work, I learned to thoroughly reproduce the elements of the Scriabin style. In particular, the style of the works of his late creative period, sounding extraordinary, otherworldly, mystical...
      Using specific means, first of all harmony (as well as texture and tempo), I can "scriabe" any piece, melody or motive accordingly, without changing at all or almost without changing the notes of the melodic line of the original.
      And despite the fact that in this case I didn't even change a single note of the melody of the original holiday song "Happy birthday to you" ruclips.net/video/nEOSPz9gB9s/видео.html
      , in the end it sounds completely different: now it's not a "home holiday", but the image of a nervous-impetuous strong-willed flame characteristic of Scriabin!
      Also I "enchanted" the famous Christmas song "Jingle bells" ruclips.net/video/mz5lSLvuUSc/видео.html into a figurative sphere characteristic of Scriabin: now it is the most refined cosmic longing, gradually ecstatically excited, and then melting away...

Remember it was cold Russian winters the piano studio wasn’t prepared warm and suitable for these gods, but they mastered the ice and cold obstacles all the way through and gave us this divine music, I cannot believe it has happened. Actually seven years before our own grand national master Edvard Grieg died. He may have inspired the two selected gentlemen
