Composed by Aleksandr Skrjabin. Edited by Christoph Flamm. This edition: urtext edition. Paperback. Aleksandr Skrjabin. Complete Piano Sonatas IV | BARENREITER URTEXT. Performance score, anthology. Baerenreiter Verlag #BA09619. Published by Baerenreiter Verlag (BA.BA09619).ISBN 9790006536931. 31 x 24.3 cm inches. Language: German/English. Preface: Hamelin, Marc-André / Flamm, Christoph.
Volume IV of Skrjabin’s “Complete Piano Sonatas” unites Sonata No. 9 op. 68 (nicknamed “Black Mass” – but not by Skrjabin) and Sonata No. 10 op. 70. These two works originated virtually at the same time, in 1911-13 and 1912-13, respectively.
Christoph Flamm has given both sonatas a fundamentally fresh look in this new Urtext edition. Exploiting all the autograph sources, including Skrjabin’s sketches and drafts, he has arrived at surprising new readings. His foreword sheds informative light on the genesis and significance of these pieces; the many variants are documented in detail in the Critical Commentary. The high editorial standards are complemented by spacious engraving and practical page-turns.
