Symphony No. 3 (Scriabin)

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Alexander Scriabin's Symphony No. 3 (opus 43) in C minor, titled Le Divin Poème (The Divine Poem) was published in about 1904.

Its four movements are titled:

  • Lento
  • Luttes (Struggles)
  • Voluptes (Delights)
  • Jeu divin (Divine Play)


Leonid Sabaneev mentions that this symphony is much clearer when performed on the piano. He cites a pupil of Sergei Taneyev with the words: "One has to hear how Alexander Nikolayevich [Scriabin] himself plays this symphony on the piano, he made of it a kind of Poème for piano. The impression is unforgettable, and it sounds much better than with an orchestra." [1]
