Lugansky - Scriabin Étude Op. 8, No. 12. Patetico

Alexander Scriabin (1872-1915) Études, Op. 8, No. 12 in D-sharp minor. Patetico (1894) Nikolai Lugansky, 2019 From Zaryadye Hall “... Technically this is another octave study; emotionally it marks the final peak of the cycle. The defiant gestures of the right hand (not dissimilar to Chopin’s in his Op 10 No 12) are propelled by wide-ranging left-hand figurations which give way to irresistibly onward-pressing repeated chords in both hands—a device used later at the climaxes of the fourth and fifth Sonatas.” Simon Nicholls
