Scriabin Sonata no. 7 ("White mass") - Arjen Seinen Piano

Arjen Seinen - Piano Synagoge - Dalfsen The Netherlands
Sonata no 7, dubbed "White Mass" by the composer, imparts a weirdly ceremonial air, its music evoking bell-like sonorities as well as chant and a mystical sense relating to the composer's Eastern-influenced religious ideas. In approximate sonata form with three subjects, it is full of poetic directions in French that set the mood throughout, for example: mystérieusement sonore (mysteriously sonorous); avec une sombre majesté (with sombre majesty); avec une céleste volupté (with heavenly delight); très pur, avec une profonde douceur (very pure, with profound sweetness); avec une volupté radieuse, extatique (with radiant, ecstatic delight); comme des èclairs (like flashes of lightning); and finally, avec une joie débordante (brimming over with joy).The piece consists of a single movement, lasting around 10–13 minutes, and is marked "Allegro," although the "Allegro" marking was added later by the publisher. The original tempo marking in Scriabin's hand at the top of the autograph score is "Prophétique". It is a real Prophétique composition, Scriabin had a sixth Sense!
