Scriabin: Piano Sonatas - Volume 3 (Opp. 62, 64, 66)

Description

No genre reflects Skrjabin's artistic evolution more vividly than his piano sonatas. Sonatas Nos. 6, 7 and 8 which are presented in this edition were written between 1911 and 1913, at times contemporaneously with the late Sonatas Nos. 9 and 10.

All autographs and printed sources including Skrjabin's sketches and drafts have been thoroughly evaluated. The edition presents a meticulously edited musical text offering the latest readings and is supplemented by an informative Preface on the sonatas' genesis and significance (Ger/Eng). The Critical Commentary (Eng) provides information on alternative readings and editorial decisions. An elegant well-presented engraving with practical page-turns rounds off this edition at the cutting edge of musical scholarship.
