Music #414 - Scriabin

Alexander Scriabin  - top tracks
/skriˈæbɪn/ Алекса́ндр Никола́евич Скря́бин
(1872 – 1915)

* His early work is characterised by a lyrical and idiosyncratic tonal language influenced by Frédéric Chopin.

* Later in his career, Scriabin developed a substantially atonal and much more dissonant musical system.

* Scriabin was influenced by synesthesia, and associated colors with the various harmonic tones of his atonal scale.

A Russian composer and pianist, he is considered by some to be the main Russian Symbolist composer.
