Ksenia Kurenysheva (DMA Perf '21) performs the first of Alexander Scriabin's "2 Poèmes," composed in 1903. Described by Hyperion Records as introverted and dreamily passionate, this first movement is marked with a coined word, inaferando, which Valentina Rubtsova suggests the composer derived from inafferrabile, meaning ‘lightly touching’ or ‘imperceptible’; Scriabin was famous for the delicacy and tonal subtlety of his piano playing.
