Scriabin’s spirit just can’t be trapped in traditional norms! His inference to symbols and mysticism in this sonata makes it a reflective piece exploring larger existential themes. Have you all delved into this?
Haha! Totally, Patrick! He’s like, ‘Who needs rules?’ But really, that’s the beauty of Scriabin. It’s like he was channeling the cosmos through the piano!
