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.

Appreciate this pieces in the Scriabin late style! https://youtu.be/mz5lSLvuUSc

This year, January 6 marked the 150th anniversary of the Birth of Alexander Nikolaevich Scriabin. He is the person closest to me and beloved by me in the whole world of art, a composer who immerses with his magical music into the worlds of "the highest refinement and the highest grandeur." Having deeply passed through all his work, I learned to thoroughly reproduce the elements of the Scriabin style. In particular, the style of the works of his late creative period, sounding extraordinary, otherworldly, mystical...
Using specific means, first of all harmony (as well as texture and tempo), I can "scriabe" any piece, melody or motive accordingly, without changing at all or almost without changing the notes of the melodic line of the original.
And despite the fact that in this case I didn't even change a single note of the melody of the original holiday song "Happy birthday to you" https://youtu.be/nEOSPz9gB9s
, in the end it sounds completely different: now it's not a "home holiday", but the image of a nervous-impetuous strong-willed flame characteristic of Scriabin!
Also I "enchanted" the famous Christmas song "Jingle bells" https://youtu.be/mz5lSLvuUSc into a figurative sphere characteristic of Scriabin: now it is the most refined cosmic longing, gradually ecstatically excited, and then melting away...

Outstanding performance. Clear, well-pedalled, accurate, luminous in the right places, crisp in the right places.

Thanks for uploading this masterpiece. Its a beautiful way to close a cycle of 5 impressive sonatas.
@Scherzokinn
The name of "Insect Sonata" suits the piece absolutely perfectly.

@Odin_Limaye
Absolutely gorgeous!

Fuuuuuck. What a gorgeous piece of music.
@davidepisanu1412
Amazing interpretation
@kjluurs
I've always loved this piece - and thoroughly enjoy your performance. It has always been a work that i would like to learn; however, with arthritis and diminished technique, I suspect I'll have to wait for a future lifetime. In the meantime, listening to you play with the score adds a dimension to my enjoyment.

This is my favorite of Scriabin's late sonatas. It's so bright and shimmering gotta love it
