Op.69 - 2 Poems

Two Swans, Hilma af Klint
Two Swans, Hilma af Klint

Penultimate set of poems in Scriabin production.

No.1 – Allegretto
No.2 – Allegretto

The first piece is a reverie, floating in the Ether, almost improvised. It is an evolved form of others languid pieces like the Poème Op.41, Op.44 and Op.61.

The second is more in the capricious and in an unreal style, a sort of playful creature fooling around. The mystic chords sound here more luminous than pessimist and sinister. It is reminiscent of Poem No.2 Op.63 “Etrangeté”.
