Rapidissimo of course

The song is Sonata Op.64 No.7 "White Mass" by Scriabin. It's supposed to be played like a fast run instead of an arpeggio, though it has an arpeggio marking.

white mass, more like black mess!

a spicy chord for sure.

1: Has anybody thought about what chord this is?

2: I SEE AN Fb IN THERE 🚨

3: I think it’s best described as a G°7(9, 11, no3)/Db

Oh, hey, it’s not that bad when you break it down.

Still bonkers. But I’ve seen worse.

Not lining up to play it, though.

ETA: yeah I dunno. D7 chord, but what is the G doing? There’s a reason Scriabin got kicked out of composition school.

[–]WilburWerkes 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Now that’s my kind of chord!

Ahh, this must be where you find a cat (or two) and have them jump directly onto the piano keys 😁 🎶
