Abstract
The work presented herewith is an orchestration of one of the most idiomatic piano pieces
composed by Alexander Scriabin: the Sonata no.3 in F‐sharp minor, Op. 23.
This particular orchestration involved a process of profound examination and
comprehension of the form of the sonata, as well as understanding the role of each
instrument of the symphony orchestra, and how they could contribute to an orchestral
reconstruction of Scriabin’s work. The re‐creation of the piano part, and the whole
experience that supported this challenge, resulted in the individual production in which my
particular interpretation of Scriabin’s music reflects the maturity of an absorbed
investigation of his style of composition.
