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.

아름다운 2번 곡은 서글픈 추억을 들려주는 것 같습니다. 아련하면서도 반짝이는 눈물같은 곡이네요.

One could say that the op. 14 no.2 Impromptu interpretation here has a number of mistakes in it, e.g. at around 4:29; and 4:47 BUT the vast musicianship that Valentina Lisitsa possesses carefully veils these “mistakes” as something one could think of as a free interpretation of the piece by the pianist. In fact the past few centuries were marked by performers being much more creative with their interpretations, where such modifications were welcomed. So bravo to Valentina!

Yes, but at 4:47 b natural instead of b flat is inaudible...

Valentina is ok I guess

How do you know those were mistakes?

@toothless toe Excellent point.

Why are you people even here to point out "seeming" mistakes? Is it your personal joy to do so?
