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.

This prelude is a lot more difficult than it looks! There are some deceptive patterns within the harmonies that were surprisingly difficult to figure out, plus some fairly big jumps with the left hand. Scriabin was definitely a true innovator and a wizard with harmony. This little prelude contains a lot more than meets the eye and should not be underestimated!

yeah, the reaches are not easy and trying to get it up to performance level is not easy
Anastasia Pono
you're right!

I agree! definitely the hardest piece I've played, I struggled like crazy the first two weeks because of the fingering being so uncomfortable, Mozart's turkish march is child play compared to this

I'm so sorry that I didn't thank you earlier, as I have been enjoying this wonderful music; that the playing is superb, impeccable; that the artist is without peer, here...Thank You!...

E.Zarafiants is best player for Scriabin especially No.1,9, 14
John Appleseed
Debussy was here!

That pentatonic scale sounds nearly like stereotypical chinese music (sorry for the cliche)
