Music as Metaphysics: Structure and Meaning in Skryabin’s Fifth Piano Sonata.
Because Skryabin’s mature philosophy centers on a temporal narrative, issues of long-range coherence can overcome the technical–cultural division in studies of the composer’s music. The essence of that narrative is captured in the program attached to the Fifth Piano Sonata, Op. 53 (1907). Two thread...

Such close readings are needed to test the relevance of Skryabin’s metaphysics to a better understanding of his music. pubtype: Academic Journal doctype: Article src: R language: English refInfo: copyright: @attributes: flag: Y custom: Copyright of Journal of Musicological Research is the property of Taylor & Francis Ltd and its content may not be copied or emailed to multiple sites without the copyright holder's express written permission.
