James Kreiling sets out not only to inform and advise but also to persuade. He illuminates the genius of Scriabin's highly individual style while focusing on performance and interpretation.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eConsidering the various piano-roll recordings of Scriabin left to us as well as first-hand accounts from contemporaries, this book pieces together how a late 19th-century approach to rubato and improvisation is inherent in Scriabin's notation, how notions of Scriabin's orchestration and synesthesia are pianistic tools, and how all of this can influence performance. Kreiling also contemplates the development of Scriabin as “Thinker.” He looks at how the gradual evolution of his thought to apocalyptic heights – from brushes with theosophy and Russian cosmism to mysticism – was born from growing social and political tensions of the epoch, exploring their musical manifestations such as the “Mystic” chord and musical symbolism.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e\u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cb\u003eJames Kreiling \u003c\/b\u003eis a British pianist, writer, teacher and transcriber. His debut double CD recording of Scriabin's complete late piano music was met with great critical acclaim. His doctoral thesis, completed at the Guildhall School of Music and Drama, focused on the interaction of research, analysis and performance practice in the interpretation of Scriabin's late piano sonatas.\u003c\/div\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003ctable\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003ePublication Date: \u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e07 January 2027\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003ePublisher: \u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eBloomsbury Academic\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eImprint: \u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eBloomsbury Academic\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eISBN-13: \u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e9798216375258\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eFormat: \u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003ePaperback \/ softback\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003ePage Count: \u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e216\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eWeight (oz): \u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e17.76\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003c\/table\u003e","brand":"Bloomsbury Academic","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":51223588962444,"sku":"9798216375258","price":26.96,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0710\/9545\/1788\/files\/getimage_6ed60f75-a6b1-4ab9-ba6d-057aa89655f2.jpg?v=1783078190","url":"https:\/\/fh90cf-fv.myshopify.com\/products\/9798216375258","provider":"Late Knight Books and Services, LLC","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
