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.

Just imagine yourself alone in a dark room with a piano and few candles playing this sonata. Lovely feeling, isn't?
@TasteTheFlesh17

@SCRIABINIST
Must feel like conjuring some sort of demonic cult

@sweetblis
I feel like I'm in my dad basement when I did that.

I am almost in tears at this mysterious, terrifying and incredible sound world Scriabin was able to imagine and bring to life. It literally feels like unlocking a door into outer space- how vast, how dark, how lonely, and how terrifyingly infinite. And Scriabin did it gradually, inevitably, without wanting be be progressive or revolutionary for its own sake. As intangible as this music is, there's nothing forced about it. There's nothing intentionally "strange" about it, because it belongs completely to its own world. One word comes to my mind- genius. I think of Bach almost 300 years ago- would he have been able to imagine this sound? It almost makes me shiver, the worlds yet to be explored, the mysteries yet to be embraced.

+Caramellatta Yes an incredible sound-world, I agree. Scriabin was unique, he completely shook up the tonal world in his own way!

Amazing sounds.- However, they lead to.........................nothing.
A black void only.
