The Preludes Op. 11 by Skrjabin stand in the tradition of the ones by Frederic Chopin. Similarly, Skrjabin drafts his 24 compact piano pieces as a tour through all musical keys. The Sonata G major Op. 78 D 894 by Franz Schubert came to be his last piano sonata which has been published during his lifetime. It captivates the listener with atmospheres which can be accurately described by antonyms and terms like movement and calmness, joy and despair, solitude, aspiration and solace.  Price: $27.98 |
