Hello! I know Sofronitsky. A wonderful musician.! But you can't say this is not WONDERFUL TOO. Every artist is different. Imagine that they were all the same............??????????!!!!!!!! Greetings Jan.

This can be considered one of the greatest works ever. Truly amazing piece and use of the language! This is where music should have gone.

What a brilliant piece! Only a true master could invoke such emotional intensity. I can't imagine what Scriabin would have come up with if he were to have lived another 10 years. His premature death is one of the great tragedies of music.

Listen to Vladimir Sofronitsky's edition. The best ever recorded.

10 thumbs up to that one

A dark, mesmerizing juggernaut of a piece - it's like the piano is having a nightmare that can't be escaped. Horowitz plays this the best out of all of the recordings I've heard ... pure apocalyptic fury and luminescence.

You certainly aren't alone in feeling the need to see the printed notes to fully appreciate a piece (especially one that is complex or unusual). I've read through the entire score of Sorabji's "Opus Clavicembalisticum" at least 5 times and there are still sections I find hard to comprehend on some level or other.
