Alexander Scriabin
Piano Sonata no. 7 op. 64
Scriabin called his seventh sonata “White Mass”, drawing attention to the mystical basis that is stamped on all his late works, including this one. He attempts here to translate into sound his ideal of a “mystery” – a “Gesamtkunstwerk” of artistic, theological and philosophical ideas. Its aim, as stated in his own words, is the raising up of the human spirit. No longer is the formal scaffolding of the work based principally around that of sonata form, but around the idea of “evolutionary development from chaos to ecstasy”. Our edition is the first to be based on the autograph, which is today in a private collection in the USA.

La casa de Munich Henle ofrece como botón de muestra esta Sonata n° 7 en donde los criterios urtext nunca inundan el plano de la partitura pese a su eficacia.
Doce Notas, 2005Many troublesome details muddied the waters for Valentina Rubcova, Henle’s editor, who undertook the formidable task of reconciling countless stray pedal markings, vagaries of dynamics and so on. We are presented with a satisfyingly coherent score, one that allows Skryabin’s personalised tonal (and expressive) vocabulary to articulate itself straightforwardly …
Piano Professional, 2005Pour la première fois, les éditions Henle ont pu se baser sur l’autographe, en possession aujourd’hui d’un particulier, aux Etats-Unis.
Crescendo, 2005This current edition is a model of scholarly endeavour, being the first to make use of the autograph as well as the first edition (published by Editions Russe de Musique in 1913). Most importantly of all it clarifies, via generous layout, the extraordinary technical demands of the closing pages, including an exemplary layout of the notorious four-stave passage near the climax. It is also good to have a clear table of translations for some of the most outlandish directions marked on the score by this most visionary of composers, including gems such as ‘comme des éclairs’ (like lightening) and ‘avec une volupte radieuse’ (with radiant pleasure). …Full marks to Henle for exemplary presentation and outstanding editorship from Valentina Rubcova.
Sheet Music, 2005De niewe Urtext van Henle, waarbij voor het eerst sinds lange tijd gebruik kon worden gemaakt van het oorspronkelijke handschrift, is een kunststukje in menig opzicht. De ongelooflijke complexiteit van de partituur is zeer overzichtelijk over twee tot vier notenbalken verdeeld, waardoor de structuur van de compositie helder in beeld gebracht wordt.
