Vladimir Ashkenazy plays Scriabin sonata no. 1 Presto [3/4]

Scriabin sonata no. 1 op.6 third movement. Alexander Nikolayevich Scriabin (6 January 1872 -- 27 April 1915) was a Russian composer and pianist who initially developed a lyrical and idiosyncratic tonal language inspired by the music of Frédéric Chopin. Quite independent of the innovations of Arnold Schoenberg, Scriabin developed, as a sort of mysticism, an increasingly atonal musical system that presaged twelve-tone composition and other serial music. He may be considered to be the main Russian Symbolist composer. The Piano Sonata No. 1 in F minor, opus 6, by Alexander Scriabin, was the first of ten piano sonatas which Scriabin composed throughout his career. It was completed in 1892. The key of the sonata is the dark key of F minor. The music is emotionally charged as much of the music was written after Scriabin had damaged his right hand through excessive piano playing.
