jazzy_daveI love his music ,so an extra piece of Scriabin -
Scriabin - Le Poème de L' Extase (The Poem of Ecstasy), Op.54
"THE POEM OF ECSTASY" sounds are used to delineate mental and emotional states (an almost exclusively textural and harmonic narrative structure). At the opening, the flute gesture searches longingly, the clarinet dreams, and the trumpet foretells a still-distant victory. An equestrian stride commences, only to be abruptly halted to make room for an ardent violin solo. As the many levels of expression unfold the music is highly chromatic, but not particularly dissonant. A glorious climax draws the music to an appropriately ecstatic finish in C major - a key that had, for Scriabin, a cleansing and focusing quality.
The painting -
Wassily Kandinsky - "Composition VII", 1913.
