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.

Rousseau
Finally, some Scriabin. One of his earlier Etudes, written when Scriabin was around the age of 23, the strong influence of Chopin on his early musical language can be heard quite clearly here - the rhythmical figure of the theme is seemingly a reference to the Chopin Etude of the same number (i.e. Revolutionary). Yet, even amongst all of the 'Chopin' flavors, there is a heavy Russian influence which is distinctly Scriabin. There has been somewhat of a Scriabin revival over the last few decades, and appreciation for his musical output has been growing - something that he truly deserves given this statement made about him: "No one was more famous during their lifetime, and few were more quickly ignored after death."
This magical performance was recorded by SPQ last year, after sitting for almost a year as raw footage files I thought it finally needed to be edited and for you all to experience it! Wishing you all the best on this Monday ♥

Do you plan to record any of his later works?
Rousseau
Scriabin claimed he had synesthesia - meaning he saw colors when he heard sounds! I've always wondered how that feels like, do any of you have that?

Rousseau no
Scriabin is my Dog
Yes, I associate some colours with some notes, but not all of them. Messiaen had synaesthesia too
