Meg Freer
Sparse Dissonance
After Scriabin, Prelude Op. 11, No. 2 phrases rise and fall with hesitation scattered, fragmented fragile in places but sure and strong as the music speaks its wish I want unattainable things I’m wanting in many things two-note chords that could turn harmonies one way or another a whole world in miniature but no place to call home like a hand frozen on a window still waving to no one in particular |
