Late Scrib is da way to go

Iā€™m not a huge fan of Rach as a composer.

I love both very much, but I listen to Scrib more often.

Clayderman vs Rzewski
Shit, you are right!

I might be biased, but Scriabin by a mile. Definitely one of the most creative minds to come from that era of Russian music. My personal favorite composer along with the Zhoe.

11

i actually feel exactly opposite, rachmaninoff in some way ā€˜betterā€™ in terms of craft (less obvious weaknesses) but scriabin way more impactful, moving, and unique

I chose Scrib for 88 works, generally better and more innovative but Rach is also very good

But disregarding the piano technically Rach is a better composer. Better orchestral output, chamber output, concerto workz, etc.

Iā€™ve thought about diz fo a bitā€¦outside of our sdc niche (TRU, da scrub iz amazing!), Da rach winz in basically every category. N I dun underztand how itā€™z even closeā€¦

14

I mean Wagner is considered the GOAT by opera people but outside of opera he has jack shit.

Just like how Chopin is regarded for the 88, Mahler regarded for symphonies, etc.

15

youā€™re basically 99.9% right but the Siegfried Idyll is one of the finest orch pieces of the 19th century i think

16

whoops that was supposed to be a rezponz to diz :sunglasses:

17

I disagreeā€¦ Scriabin and ā€œweaknessā€ canā€™t be in the same sentence, unless you are taking about some super early works.

Aaron Copland praised Scriabinā€™s thematic material as ā€œtruly individual, truly inspiredā€, but criticized Scriabin for putting ā€œthis really new body of feeling into the strait-jacket of the old classical sonata-form, recapitulation and allā€, calling this "one of the most extraordinary mistakes in all music.
