SCRIB vs PRICK sonataz

Da ztart ov Zcrib’z workz don’t zound exactly lyk Chop

I haf been liztenin to zum Liadov lately and I realize he zoundz a lot lyk early Zcrib too, wiz da quintupletz and rhythmz

Extremely influenced…tru, abzolute clone, no. Altho I know wut U iz meaning, I juz think dat zome ov da early workz are very worth playin

“Clone” was perhapz not da bezt choize ov wordz, but “heavily influenced by”…and yes, I love most early Scriabin works a lot despite the lack of a certain originality.
Liadov (the 88 workz I’ve heard) soundz like a mixture of Chopin and early Scrib to me…

If you’d organoze a poll where da membahz would be forced to chooze between da muzic of Scrib and Prok I’d chooze da latter, honestly.
As much as I love Scrib and his pianoworkz, there seems to me a certain…onesidedness or limitation in his musical language and aesthetics. It’s like drinking a rare strong liquor - you wouldn’t want to do that every day, it’s only for certain occasions. If you would do it too often, it’d become nauseating.
Prokofiev is more universal as a composer, so it seems to me. He wrote masterpieces in all genres, from 88 to opera and ballet. His best melodies have a Zart-like quality. His musical content has more dimensions for me, even if there are also less inspired works like the 9th Sonata or some stuff that he wrote in his French period.

I think Prokofiev is the greater one between the two as well.

But Scriabin is - at least to me, today - the more compelling of the two. Prokofiev is out of fashion somehow, as with Rachmaninoff I haven’t listened to him much this entire decade. I also don’t think we have pianists suitable to play him at the moment, while I think the style of the day works great for Scriabin.

Haha I can c yo point 88 but I wud very ztrongly argue dat it dependz upon hiz period

in da 3rd 4th 5th zonata period evolution wuz zo rapid dat he didn’t compoze nearly enough in diz ztyle fo my liking

I ztill enjoy inzane late Zcrib but hiz middle period didnt lazt anywhere near long enough

Alzo one zimple general difference between Zcrib n Prick iz

Tru.
Da Scythian Suite (his answer to RoS), 2nd, 3rd symphony, 2nd PC even all hard hitters for the time.
He tamed himself in part after the denunciation meetings, partly to find a new simplicity in his language after even he said he didn’t know what the 2nd symphony was all about.

Tru, mostly because Liadov was a member of the Belaieff circle (as was Scriabin), and it was da Liadov compos which influenced young Scrib
