New England Conservatory pianist Hongge Du performs Scriabin: Sonata for Piano no 2 in G sharp minor, Op. 19 "Sonata fantasy”. Recorded live in Jordan Hall, January 29, 2015.

2015 marked the 100th anniversary of the death of composer Alexander Scriabin (1872-1915). Scriabin's music is heard today primarily at the keyboard - his ten piano sonatas and hundreds of preludes, etudes, and "poems," many of them bearing titles, are numerically the bulk of his output.

Because of the size of this body of work, it closely tracks the evolution of a musical language. Scriabin's earliest works display Chopin's influence in their romantic melodies. Late works anticipate the twelve-tone revolution soon to come - but with a basis in mysticism rather than mathematics.

In the concert this recording came from, NEC piano students performed all ten of the sonatas. The listener was taken on a speedy trip through the evolving sound of piano music in the 19th and 20th centuries, as well as the personal journey of a romantic visionary.

Ravel intended this piece to be played extremely slowly – more slowly than almost any modern interpretation, according to his biographer Benjamin Ivry. The critic Emile Vuillermoz complained that Ravel's playing of the work was "unutterably slow." However, the composer was not impressed by interpretations that plodded. After a performance by Charles Oulmont, Ravel mentioned to him that the piece was called "Pavane for a dead princess", not "dead Pavane for a princess."

The first movement of Beethoven's fifth symphony is one of the most well-known pieces of classical music. This digital arrangement is for full orchestra and was based directly on the original score.
