Poème No. 1, Op. 32 comes from 1903, a testy and productive time for the composer, who was both eager to plunge into a new century and hesitant to leave behind a glorious heritage. It opens with seductively ambiguous harmonies—a preview of Scriabin’s “mystic chord”—but the two main ideas have a Romantic charm that melts at the end into an F-major cadence.Notes by Jack Sullivan
