Op.58 - Album Leaf

Last Album Leaf of Scriabin, sharing the same poetic sensuality as the two pieces of Op.57. Suspension, longing, unreal space and time.

It is the first work to end without any tonal function: tonality has finally disappeared, opening Scriabin’s third and last creative period.

To a certain extent, Sonata No.5 also ended atonally, but with a conceptual purpose rather than as a new harmonic vision.
