Many of Scriabin's works are written for the piano; the earliest pieces resemble Frédéric Chopin and include music in many forms that Chopin himself employed, such as the etude, the prelude and the mazurka. Later works, however, are strikingly original, employing very unusual harmonies and textures. The development of Scriabin's voice or style can be followed in his ten piano sonatas: the earliest are in a fairly conventional late-Romantic idiom and show the influence of Chopin and Franz Liszt, but the later ones move into new territory.
Scriabin has been often considered to have had synaesthesia, a condition wherein one experiences sensation in one sense in response to stimulus in another; it is most likely, however, that Alexander Scriabin did not actually experience this. His thought-out system of relating musical notes to colours lines up with the circle of fifths. Prometheus: Poem of Fire includes a part for a 'clavier à lumières' (keyboard of lights) though this is not often featured in performances.

Cool, but the performer is inserting an accidental that isn't there. No. 1 (in B Minor) measures 7, 39, 97, 129, beat 3, the chord should read C#-G-B-E#, but this performer is adding a G#. No, it's not a missing accidental on the part of the publisher. Scriabin used dominant chords with diminished 5ths all over the place. Unfortunately, it is the performer's mistake, and if they submit it as an interpretation then it's one I heavily disagree with based on how frequently Scriabin used this chord in his body of work. It doesn't detract from the performance all that much, but it robs it of some of that unique Scriabin flavour!

the contrasts in 4 are awesome, especially when it starts having thirds in the middle section. afterwards it goes back to scriabin with touches of chopin's classic mazurkas. 2 was also pretty great

No 5 is one of my favorite pieces - nicely played.
