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.

Scriabin's strength lies in his counterpoint not harmony.

This music should be played at the funeral of the universe.

Funny that you all are arguing over this comment while Scriabin himself would have said, "hold my vodka"....he had a piece in the works that not only would have accompanied the end of the universe but cause it. Funny guy, that Scriabin. From wiki:
"For some time before his death he had planned a multi-media work to be performed in the Himalaya Mountains, that would cause a so-called "armageddon," "a grandiose religious synthesis of all arts which would herald the birth of a new world.""
So, yeah....

@Antonio Castelli It's your second interpretation, but not simply because the music sounds nice. Because it's ecstatic and profound. You strike me as someone who might benefit from getting out and actually talking to people a bit.
In my humble opinion, 12-TET is lame.
The internet. Where stating a controversial statement is "pretentious" and insulting others is "just a joke".
Maybe it depends on taste.

This is one of the most emotionally impactful and beautiful pieces of music I've ever heard; Scriabin's unique sound is other-worldly and definitely is ecstatic.
