re: #299 engineer cat

I had a few tabs open of Scriabin music this past week, in an attempt to find something “digestible” from him.

For me, the problem with so many of these transitionary composers (the change over from the Romanticists to the 20th century “modernists”) is that I don’t listen to many solo piano (or other instrument) pieces, and so many of them composed a good share of their work to explore with a single instrument (usually a piano.) Plus, I find the transition to atonal or experimental tonalities a bit off putting. These days I’m mostly a listener of the go-big-or-go-home school (e.g., Wagner, or choral music) or more recent ensemble stuff.

At least, when I’m not listening to classic Japanese pop…
