The Ten Piano Sonatas of Alexander Scriabin form one of the most extraordinary journeys in the piano literature, tracing his path from late-Romantic intensity to a radically original musical language.

During the 24 hours of instruction across this unique course bundle, Dr. Elina Akselrud leads you deeply into all ten sonatas, offering a broad and detailed guide to Scriabin’s evolving world of sound, symbolism, imagery, and pianistic writing.

This bundle is designed to help you not only learn these works more effectively, but also to deepen your understanding of Scriabin’s aesthetic universe, refine your technical approach, and develop a more mature and individual interpretation.

Each course is a substantial in-depth lesson devoted to one Sonata, exploring its artistic context, emotional and philosophical ideas, semantics, thematic material, structure, and expressive character, alongside practical questions of fingering, material redistribution between the hands, coordination, efficient and tension-free movement, articulation, phrasing, pedaling, balance, sonority, and texture.

Each sonata also includes a specially prepared annotated PDF score with detailed fingerings, pedaling, translations of Scriabin’s French markings where relevant, hand redistribution, and many additional performing notes created specifically for each lesson.

This is a rare opportunity to study the Complete Sonata Cycle with a performer and researcher deeply devoted to Scriabin’s music.
