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 Op. 37 sets are just pure wonder. Beautiful to play and listen to.

I really don´t know what prelude is the most beautiful, since I began to love Prelude Op 11 # 2 as the best one, but now, 10 years later, I love them all the same way.

God, I love Scriabin
Dihelson Mendonca
Scriabin is the greatest composer that ever lived ! In his short life, he experimented all kinds of ideas, harmonies and concepts that people would use decades ahead, even today. His work for solo piano is superb, and his poems for orchestra, like Poem of Ecstasy is transcendental, almost composed by a god !

Egg MCMUFFIN Care to give some examples of such harmonies and pieces where Bill Evans uses them?

Dihelson Mendonca Scriabin’s harmonic language was truly ahead of his time! His symphonic works are gorgeous
