con stravaganza

Italian work

Definition

With extravagance — the tempo and character marking of Scriabin's Fifth Sonata.

Interpretive Guidance

The Fifth Sonata is a single continuous movement of enormous expressive range. Con stravaganza implies something deliberately extreme and eccentric — a wild, unconstrained energy that matches the mystic fire of the programmatic context.
