Out of topic, but I found this on Wiki:
Theosophist and composer Dane Rudhyar wrote that Scriabin was "the one great pioneer of the new music of a reborn Western civilization, the father of the future musician", and an antidote to "the Latin reactionaries and their apostle, Stravinsky" and the "rule-ordained" music of "Schoenberg's group."
that sounds frightening and interesting at the same time. I admit I am very fond of history so "reborn Western Civilization" "Latin reactionaries" and "rule-ordained" clicked my curiosity, considering the story of XX century. Interesting perspective, though paradoxical, considering that Stravinsky was a cosmopolitan russian who spent most his life in Western Civilized world and Schoenberg a jew, banned by the "rule-ordained " Nazis. So where's the place of Scriabin in the stream of History, at the end he spent most of his life in Russia, well, the western cultural part of Russia.
Just a sidenote, might worths some investigation...or Dane Rudhyar said a bullshit.
Sorry, I might have post it in the Coherence is overrated thread.
I beg your pardon, go on with the thread.
