En este fascinante episodio, Luis Antonio Muñoz, autor de "Historia Oculta de la Música", nos sumerge en la sorprendente conexión entre la teosofía y la música del siglo XX. Desde las ideas revolucionarias de Helena Blavatsky sobre el poder oculto del sonido hasta las composiciones visionarias de Alexander Scriabin, descubrimos cómo el pensamiento esotérico transformó radicalmente la estética musical. Exploraremos audiciones veladas en el París bohemio, el nacimiento de la música atonal, y cómo estos conceptos de vibración, color y sonido trascendieron hasta llegar a influenciar incluso la música contemporánea. Un viaje apasionante por la cara oculta de la música que cambió nuestra percepción sonora para siempre. Escucha el episodio completo en la app de iVoox, o descubre todo el catálogo de iVoox Originals
Carlos Iribarren | El quinto episodio de primeras sinfonías rusas incluye 4 movimientos de sendos autores que aún no habían sonado en esta serie orquestal de Hoy Toca. Los responsables de la música tan interesante que ilumina esta entrega son Alexander Borodin, Mikhail Ippolitov-Ivanov, Anton Arensky y Alexander Scriabin, cuyos primeros intentos sinfónicos oscilan entre finales del siglo XIX y comienzos del XX. Es música de mucho nivel que Carlos Iribarren y Mario Mora quieren que disfrutes en un viaje lleno de matices y sonidos emocionantes; así de apasionante es la nueva entrega de Hoy Toca, el programa de Clásica FM que te quiere sorprender.

O Poema do Êxtase, do maluco Alexander Scriabin , seria chamado originalmente de Poème Orgiaque (Poema Orgiástico). A partitura de Scriabin contém muitas marcações de expressão não convencionais, incluindo "muito perfumado", "com uma sensação de intoxicação crescente" e "com um prazer sensual se tornando cada vez mais extático".

So excited to present
Tom Service meets French pianist Jean-Yves Thibaudet during his recital tour where he performs both books of Debussy's Préludes. His 1996 recording of the pieces has just been re-released on vinyl with artwork created by his friend Vivienne Westwood, shortly before she died. Jean-Yves talks to Tom about the need to collaborate, his love of Debussy, Gershwin and Bill Evans, and why challenging conventions and being yourself as an artist are the keys to success and happiness. He also shares his excitement about an upcoming multisensory performance of Alexander Scriabin's 1910 tone poem 'Prometheus, The Poem of Fire' - a collaboration with Cartier in-house perfumer Mathilde Laurent, conductor Esa-Pekka Salonen and San Francisco Symphony which involves not only light and colour in addition to the music, but scent too.Tom talks to pianist Alice Sara Ott and composer Bryce Dessner about a new piano concerto he's written for her, which receives its UK premiere in February. Inspired by Alice's playing, the piece is also dedicated to Bryce's sister Jessica, a dancer and choreographer who has shaped his musical life. Alice talks about her love of Bryce's music and the challenges of getting inside a new piece. Bryce discusses his approach to the concerto, the power of acoustic music and how his work as a composer for the concert hall relates to his life as guitarist and writer in the band The National.
In Spring 1918 a massive German offensive made significant territorial gains, but ultimately not the intended breakthrough, and the Allied forces stood firm. Exhausted and demoralised at the scale of casualties, the Germans were pushed back in a major counter-attack in the late Summer and Autumn. And on 26 September, the Allies launched a general offensive along the entire Western Front.Meanwhile, the Habsburg empire was fast falling apart as various nationalities declared independence. www.patreon.com/historyeuropewww.historyeurope.netMusic composed by Alexander Scriabin, Etude in C sharp minor.

Here is the trailer for The Piano Pod's upcoming episode with Concert Pianist, Recording Artist, and Educator, Dr. Michael Kaykov. The entire episode will be available on Sept 5, 2023, at 8:00pm ET as a video format on YouTube.The audio episode will be divided into two segments, with Part 1 launching simultaneously on your preferred podcast platform during the video premiere. Our conversation began with his extensive research on Alexander Scriabin, delving into his admiration for Franz Liszt. We also discussed practical topics like self-funding and career management for independent artists, leading to deeper philosophical discussions about classical music's role in society, innovative ways to connect with audiences, and more.
"I found this piece that I'd like to learn," one of my high school students said to me in a lesson earlier this summer. He carefully laid out the pages of the score of Alexander Scriabin's Prelude in C Major, Op. 11, No. 1 that he'd downloaded from IMSLP. "I have a question about it, though," he said turning toward the score. "How do you count this?"He pointed at the first line written in flowing quintuplets straddling the barlines. I leaned in to take a closer look. My student is very mathematically-minded, so we talked about how the beats are organized and divided into groups of 2+3. The way that it's notated in cut time creates tension—a feeling of pushing or transcending the boundaries to create something free and expressive.Next, we studied the tonal structure, the repeated use of 4ths, moments of tension and resolution, the way the hands sweep in toward the center in contrary motion. We talked about the formal structure, the technical challenges inherent in the left-hand octave leaps and open arpeggios.The more we analyzed the score together, the more intrigued I was to take it home and learn it myself. So I pulled up a copy of the same edition on my iPad that day and saved it to my forScore library for later.Scott Price once said, "The teacher is always and forever the student and the student is the teacher.” What does this look like in practice? In this episode, I'm sharing a glimpse into a project I've been working on this summer and what it looks like to be a student again.For show notes, click here.Resources Mentioned*Disclosure: I get commissions for purchases made through links in this post.Scriabin's 24 Préludes, Op. 11IMSLPforScoreSchoenberg's Drei Klavierstücke (1894)Ep. 060 - How Do We Approach Mistakes in Music Teaching & Learning?A Piano Teacher's Legacy (Richard Chronister)
SynopsisToday a tip of the hat to a much-beleaguered and frequently unacknowledged species: the piano teacher. Do you, for example, remember the name of your first piano teacher?In the case of Duke Ellington, it was not a name one could easily forget. She was a certain Mrs. Clinkscales, and Ellington always gave her credit for her persistence. “Because of my enthusiasm for playing ball and racing through the street, I missed more lessons than I took,” wrote Ellington. “When she had her piano recital with all her pupils, I was the only one who could not play his part. So Mrs. Clinkscales had to play the treble, and I just played the umpy-dump bottom!”The avant-garde American composer Morton Feldman immortalized the name of HIS piano teacher in an elegiac chamber piece titled Madame Press Died Last Week at Ninety. This music was premiered in France on today's date in 1970. Madame Maurina Press had taught the children of the Czar and knew the Russian composer Alexander Scriabin. She started teaching Morton Feldman when he was twelve, and his tribute to her is scored for 12 instruments—with the piano conspicuous by its absence!Music Played in Today's ProgramMorton Feldman (1926 - 1987) Madame Press died last week at 90 Orchestra of St. Luke's; John Adams, conductor.

Synopsis A question: do you see colors when you hear music? No, we're not going psychedelic on you and absolutely no controlled substances are involved in preparing today's edition of Composers Datebook. It's just that many composers do—see colors, that is. The late Romantic Russian composer Alexander Scriabin would describe the key of F-sharp Major as very definitely being “bright blue.” His colleague Nicolai Rimsky Korsakov, however, thought F-sharp Major more a greyish-green hue. While many composers confess to seeing certain musical keys as certain colors, the fact is they don't always agree on which color matches which key. Which brings us to the American composer Michael Torke, who gave the title “Bright Blue Music” to an orchestral piece that premiered on today's date at Carnegie Hall at a concert of the New York Youth Symphony. In 1985, when this music premiered, Torke was just 24 years old, but had already been composing music for most of his young life. In addition to a string of other “colorful” scores, with titles like “The Yellow Pages” and “Ecstatic Orange,” Torke has also gone on to write a number of ballet scores and vocal works, including a TV opera and, in 1999, a big choral symphony for the Disney Corporation to celebrate the Millennium.

Two friends and academics recap classic literature and take it off its pedestal. In our thirty-first episode and the second of two Halloween specials, we get properly scary with a ghost story full of ambiguous trauma, creepy children, and isolated country mansions: Henry James's The Turn of the Screw (1898). We also investigate the 'obscure hurt' a young Henry James did to his balls, speculate about hasty office sex, and introduce some weird factoids about the Aztecs.Cover art © Catherine Wu.Episode theme: Alexander Scriabin, 'Prelude No.1, Op. 67' Hosted on Acast.

Synopsis Few of us today really know–or care–very much about the War of Austrian Succession, a conflict that troubled Europe in the 18th century. For music lovers, it’s enough to know that to celebrate the end of that war, George Frideric Handel was commissioned to compose music for a fireworks concert in London’s Green Park, an event that took place on today’s date in the year 1749. Back then there were no such things as microphones and loudspeakers, so Handel’s score called for a huge military band of 24 oboes, 9 horns, 9 trumpets, 3 sets of timpani, 12 bassoons, 2 contrabassoons—and strings. When King George II was told about it, he balked a little at the expense: “Well, at least I hope there won’t be any fiddles,” he commented, and so Handel was informed the strings were definitely off. A public rehearsal was held at the Vauxhall Gardens and a London newspaper reported that 100 musicians performed for an audience of more than 12,000, causing a 3-hour traffic jam of carriages and pedestrians on London Bridge. The official event with fireworks went off with a bang–as well as a few fires breaking out.

Bitgenstein’s Table, the Crypto Philosophy Podcast: Exploring the Future of Blockchain
This week, we discuss kidnappings & gunpoint attacks demanding cryptocurrency. We often say that cryptocurrency is unseizable. But in one sense, it’s more seizable than dollars in your account: Kidnappers’ crypto accounts, unlike bank accounts, are unfreezable and are themselves unseizable – making stolen funds completely unrecoverable. What can we do to be safe from ransom and wrench attacks? *** Next week I have an exciting guest interview with Manuel Martin, who worked at CERN's Large Hadron Collider for many years and is now teaming up with other experts to fix many problems with the scientific publishing industry. *** Original theme song, as usual, by Joseph Dickinson (audiojungle.net/user/jdmusic).

Thinking about form in a larger context can shape the creative process and ultimately the end result of your creative work.

In this episode we talk about a composer that tried to usher in the apocalypse, but then died in the most random and unintimidating way. Listen in as we try to keep it together long enough to get through the life of this forgotten composer.

Twintig jaar geleden overleed de extravagante pianist Shura Cherkassky, die er trots op was dat hij een stuk nooit precies hetzelfde speelde maar juist iedere keer een nieuwe interpretatie liet horen. We laten een van zijn versies horen van de laatste sonate van Alexander Scriabin, in de BuitenBocht - het ìs 20e-eeuws, maar eigenlijk nog heel erg ouderwets romantisch. En natuurlijk blikken we vooruit op de volgende aflevering van Het Weeshuis Van De Nederlandse Muziek, op 9 januari in Splendor in Amsterdam. Met een slechts één keer ooit gespeeld stuk van Calliope Tsoupaki.

100 years after the death of Alexander Scriabin, his music lives on in a form he would never have expected. A week ago, I announced the Patchwork Scriabin quest along with UniqueSound, and 49 people contributed to our Scriabin sound quilt by recording a measure of his Prelude in A minor, Op. 11 No. 2. I’m excited to present our final mashup, with 68 uniquely-produced measures. You’ll hear trombones, bells, accordions, chiptune synths, wine glasses, dog growls, dance beats, and much more.
In honor of the 100th anniversary of Alexander Scriabin’s death, Composer Quest and UniqueSound are teaming up to bring you a collaborative music production quest. We’ll be creating an “audio quilt” based on Scriabin’s Prelude in A minor, Op. 11 No. 2. Your goal is to record one measure from the score using whatever instruments or synthesizers you want (sign-up form below). I’ll unveil our stitched-together masterpiece on the Composer Quest podcast on April 27th.

J.C. and S.R. discuss the music, mind, and life of composer Alexander Scriabin.
The music of pianist/composer Armando Anthony "Chick" Corea needs no introduction to most of you. He is a musician extraordinaire who has covered every musical base possible. From "free" avant-guarde Jazz to classical music, it's all the same to Corea. Tonight's Feature is called "Trio Music" and it is mostly that. This is a re-union of three musicians with special chemistry and they are: bassist Miroslav Vitous and drummer Roy Haynes. The selections were recorded during a European tour in September 1984. The set opens with a Corea composition called "The Loop" then we move to two standards woven together: "Summer Night" by Dubin and Warren segueing to Cole Porter's "Night and Day". Solo piano follows this and it's Mr Corea playing Alexander Scriabin's "Prelude #2" and segueing to a Corea creation called "Mock Up". Finally back to the trio with Vitous' composition "Mirovisions". All in all totally inspiring music by three masters. Corea, Vitous and Haynes. Enjoy!
This is my first recording of a work by Scriabin. Scriabin's music has a very unique and recognizable style to it. He was a talented pianist and lived an interesting "mystic" life with music at the center. This particular Etude was composed in 1887. The haunting melody is quite simple in that it merely ascends up the minor scale, with a short jump from the fifth to the octave with a quick descent to the sixth. This phrase then repeats throughout the work beginning on a variety of intervals and keys. As each phrase ends with a feeling of incompleteness, it provides the piece with a longing feeling - a need to return to "home" or the tonic. As the larger phrase finally makes its way back to the tonic, the journey there is through a descent back through the minor scale adding to the somber feelings that are stirred through this work. This piece has become a favorite of mine to play during times of reflection and "longing". Sometimes in life we find ourselves simply feeling an incompleteness even we cannot fully understand why. This piece is particularly reflective of that emotional state. I hope you enjoy my interpretation and recording of Scriabin's Etude in C-sharp Minor. This recording was made at my home on my studio upright piano.
