Piano Sonata No. 8 op. 66-In his last years Skryabin realized a noble and great idea. Inspired by his study of theosophical writings he dreamed of joining music poetry mime architecture light colour and even aromas to create a 'Gesamtkunstwerk' andthus elevate human beings to a higher level of consciousness. This 'Mysterium' was never completed but his late piano sonatas conceived as preliminary studies enable us to see what moved Skryabin. He spent a particularly longtime working on his eighth sonata and proofread it intensively; but later quite a few mistakes still found their way into it. Thanks to the autograph and the first edition ambiguous passages have now been cleared up and correctedin our Urtext edition.
