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.

That's one of the most beautiful melodies ever written, when Scriabin wanted too, he could write breathtaking melodies just like Chopin etc.

The ending phrases in this piece are so reminiscent of the theme/chorus in the first movement of his 2nd Sonata. Has anyone noticed that? It's really wonderful.

His 2nd Sonata... movement 1 is my favorite piece of piano music, period. This prelude reminds me so much of it, and I want to learn it so bad haha.

@Nick you should try to learn it! It’s not that bad and it’s wonderful to play

An excellent example of the ineffability of music. It is both melancholic and uplifting at the same time!
