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.

Une musique d'une beauté venue d'ailleurs, qui n'est même pas terrestre et qui dépasse la matérialité ici-bas. Merci à l'interprète d'en avoir si précisément restitué le sens.

To Imran Imam - Ever hear of counter voices? There is more to this piece than just an accompaniment and melody.

imam go do the imam thing, don't bother where you don't belong.

Nice performance! The only constructive criticism I can offer is that it sometimes feels like the guy on the left is stepping on the girl's feet on the right if that makes any sense.

Lol and yet again the listener's criticism is shunned in the classical paradigm. I mean it might just be personal preference for me but you don't find that the accompaniment sometimes overpowers the melody a bit?
