Listening: Scriabin Sonata #2, Sviatoslav Richter

Posted by sorabji on Nov 19, 2015

This track captures the directionless of my life as it existed in 2002 and 2003, and again in 2015. It is an ambling, rambling piece of music, sleepily performed with no particular color or determination by Sviatoslav Richter. I listened to this track over and over when my bedroom was my office and this living room where I work today was mostly empty. Early Scriabin is a puzzle waiting for its solution in Piano Sonata #3.
