Four Women, Andrea Montagna (1503)

Four languid pieces:

No.1 – Fragilité No.2 - Prelude No.3 – Poème Ailé No.4 – Danse Languide

The first is like a poem, with infinite delicacy, in one of the most lyrical tonalities among Scriabin’s composition (Fa# Major). It resonance and mobility are somehow reminiscent of Chopin’s posthumous Etudes. The second is sorrowful and shadowed, perhaps influenced by the tragic loss of Scriabin’s daughter, Rimma (Scriabin would refuse to play it in public during his lifetime). The third is a fantasque image, like a man jumping trying to reach the Moon, the reunion of the comical aspect of Pierrot and the transcendental philosophy of Sonata No.4. Additionally, Scriabin attempted at the same period to write a symphonic poem on the mythological figure of Icarus. The last is full of mystery and sets a basis for all the poems of the late period.
