Alexander Scriabin's 'Danse languide, Op. 51/4' is a solo piano piece that was composed in 1905. It was premiered in the same year in Moscow, Russia. The piece is part of a larger collection of works called 'Trois Morceaux, Op. 51', which includes two other pieces: 'Poème ailé, Op. 51/3' and 'Feuillet d'album, Op. 51/2'. 'Danse languide' is a slow and languid dance that is characterized by its dreamy and ethereal quality. The piece is written in the key of F-sharp major and is in 3/4 time. It begins with a gentle and flowing melody that is played in the right hand, while the left hand provides a simple accompaniment. The melody is then repeated with slight variations, and the left hand becomes more active, adding more complex harmonies and rhythms. The second section of the piece features a more dramatic and intense melody that is played in the left hand, while the right hand provides a delicate and intricate accompaniment. The two hands then switch roles, with the right hand taking on the more dramatic melody and the left hand providing a softer accompaniment. The final section of the piece returns to the gentle and flowing melody of the opening, but with added embellishments and variations. The piece ends with a soft and delicate coda that fades away into silence. Overall, 'Danse languide' is a beautiful and evocative piece that showcases Scriabin's unique style and musical language. It is characterized by its dreamy and ethereal quality, as well as its use of complex harmonies and rhythms.
