Pianist Henrik Kilhamn takes apart Scriabin's ambiguous harmonies in his sparkling Etude in F# major Op. 42 no. 4. The chords seem to exist in two states simultaneously, with some notes acting as bridges inbetween. The Etude is written in 1903, and we are now entering Scriabin's middle period where he is really starting to look outside of traditional harmony.
