Prélude op. 11 Nr. 15 - Sheet Music for Piano solo Alexander Nikolajewitsch Skrjabin

Alexander Scriabin's Prélude in D flat major op. 11 no. 15 from 1895 is one of the Russian composer's most popular and frequently performed pieces. This short jewel, lasting around two to three minutes, captivates with its delicate, floating beauty and the typically Scriabinian mixture of impressionistic sound painting and romantic intimacy. The piece was composed during Scriabin's time as a student in Moscow and already displays the characteristic chromatic harmony that would later become his trademark. The gently swaying, almost improvisatory melody over an ostinato accompaniment pattern creates an atmosphere of quiet contemplation and quiet ecstasy - a perfect example of Scriabin's early "mystical" tonal language. This carefully edited edition offers a clear, concise musical text based on the first edition in a modern layout. Ideal for advanced piano students, music students and all lovers of the Russian piano miniature.
