This 1934 musical edition, issued by the State Music Publishing House (Muzgiz), presents the third notebook of Alexander Scriabin’s celebrated 24 Preludes, Op. 11. Composed during his travels across Europe between 1893 and 1896, this cycle remains one of the most significant contributions to the piano miniature genre in the late 19th century. This specific volume contains Preludes Nos. 13 through 18, which venture into the "flat" keys, showcasing Scriabin's transition from pure Chopinesque lyricism toward a more sophisticated, atmospheric harmonic language. The text provides a deep dive into the internal logic of the cycle’s middle section, including the arrangement of the contemplative "Lento" in G-flat major (No. 13) and the dramatic, virtuosic "Presto" in E-flat minor (No. 14).
These six preludes are particularly noted for their emotional range and technical innovation. From the dreamy, almost impressionistic quality of No. 15 in D-flat major to the dark, enigmatic textures of the "Misterioso" in B-flat minor (No. 16), the collection demands a performer with a sensitive touch and a command of subtle dynamic shading. The notebook concludes with the light, dance-like Allegretto of No. 17 and the turbulent "Allegro agitato" of No. 18 in F minor. With an exceptionally small print run of only 1,000 copies, this 11-page softcover edition from the mid-1930s is a rare artifact of Soviet music publishing. It serves as a vital primary source for the study of Scriabin’s early style and remains a sought-after item for collectors of pre-war Russian sheet music and those interested in the history of the Moscow Conservatory school.
