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 used to play this song, and I've just realised how wrong the way I played it was. I didn't know how important the right hand melody is, and that it's not just playing chords to accompany the left hand. Such a difference. Thanks a lot.

marta lobos Usually I find that all of Scriabin’s music is highly contrapunctal! Even where it does not seem that there is a (counter)-melody, it most likely is hidden somewhere , interwoven within the chordal lattice. His C#m etude (op 2 number 1, I think) is a prime example of this.

Very expressive Scriabin interpretations

That Amaj7 at 1:11 gives me chills.
@fidelguardado1819
Thank you .
@Cutekiss17
Thanks so much! Very usual!

Chick Corea did an improv on this prelude with his jazz trio. Definitely recommend it. Some of the best jazz improv I've heard based on classical.

TacTundra You again :O
Will do, found his improvisation on one of Chopin’s mazurkas and if it’s anything like that I’ll certainly enjoy it. I’m sure there will be plenty of angry comments about how thoust showd not tamperith with the workz of the grate mazterz. Still amazed at how Scriabin went from this to his late works.

I'm here from his recent stream where he breaks this out. He's done a few Scriabin pieces if I recall correctly. No 2 and No 4 from the Op. 11 preludes as well.
