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.

5:04 look how the theme of the first movement was quoted, what a genius Scriabin was...there was no limit to his creativity!
@SCRIABINIST
So much playfulness and joy in such a concise moment

Lovely recording. The piano sounds like a Bosendorfer Imperial to me, and its tone fits the piece very well especially the first movement in my opinion!
@themoonfleesthroughclouds
while I’m stuck here playing it on my shitty electric piano (which isn’t actually shit compared to most electric pianos, it’s quite good, but compared to the instrument this was played on it’s shit) 😔
