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.

I just wanted to put the keys here for my own reference ( I have some favorite keys )

I heared a beautiful spring, green and coloured of with the most flamboyant flowers .
Then came long night after work, a man sitting with solitude. He has not accepted the loss of his lover but still remembers the Joy he once felt. Looking at the beauty of night.
Then it was light and airy, like love, and sweet emotions. Round figures turning all around .
Bittersweet ending, solitude came back, and know distress is heavy in the heart, the weight of life in the hands.
Melancholy is chanting some days, because life tastes sometimes like the warm drink of a cold night.
But today, today you woke up angry, hatefully walking, running, passing by,
The ball has started, everyone dancing, but you. You enter and tell the toast, the truth is spilled
The night is spoiled. Everyone is watching and you réalise that you have been exposed. Shame ? No, you feel light tonight.
You walk, the show is over. Was it worth it ? Who cares? Do you ?
Because now you are deep in the hole, stuck. You accept it. The dark upon you.
One day a thread of light appears. Are you dreaming ? Is it real ? You can smell the parfume of roses.
It was brief, intense, the taste of honey remains. (Andante)

Not that every artist has to be famous at all costs, I do think Scriabin is the most underrated composer for the piano. It would have been so wild to see where he went, if he'd lived longer.
Aldo Ringo
Scriabin was the definition of a genuis. Its like if Einstein starting playing the piano. So smooth, everything mathematically and creatively perfect.
billmarrufo
Perfect and new.
I hope you will agree most in both geniuses work was totally new for mankind. Scriabin is my epitome in music. No other composer has ever moved me so strongly. I was captured since I listened his Op 8, No.12.
Now, I have listened to all his works.
Sam Bol
what does that mean
Arron Clarke
From memory, Scriabin had an injury to his right hand as a young man. You often see his left hand part compensating with rather hard leaps. His music is sublime!
Aldo Ringo
Every single one of these preludes are structural, musical, emotional, and (often) subjective masterpieces. I've listened to this set of preludes everyday for about 3 weeks now, and I've barely even begun to internalise Scriabins genius.
John Sardo
No. 9 is really incredible. The crescendo starting at 12:20 gets me every time.
Frank
Sounds like arabesque no 1
pseudotonal
It has such an anti-climactic resolution at the end of this crescendo. That surprise makes it extra special.
Alotus Nine
I feel for every composer there’s a month that describes them. Scriabin is September for sure. When the days start getting darker…
