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.

These four are some of his most beautiful preludes in my opinion, it's a shame they aren't as well known as Op. 11

that fourth prelude touches some hidden places in my soul.. tragical is the brevity of the piece

Sounds like Saties nocturnes, perhaps you’d like some of those?

1:13, there is that high A in LH, but the pianist played F instead, and I think it's beautiful too that way

For some reason I have only been listening to Scriabin for the last month. Tried to explore Medtner's music but got bored easily. Something about Scriabin hits different.

Listen to some more Medtner...takes a few listens to really appreciate his music.
Alexander Bayramov
Not sure about Medtner, haven't listened enough of him, but can agree with part about Scriabin, it all started after second mov. of piano concerto 3-4 months ago for me, and now can't stop listening his music, it definitely feels like something else, it's kinda sad a bit he's not as recognized as Chopin

Beautiful music...
