		Theosophist and composer Dane Rudhyar wrote that Scriabin was "the one great pioneer of the new music of a reborn Western civilization, the father of the future musician," (Rudhyar 1926b, 899) and an antidote to "the Latin reactionaries and their apostle, Stravinsky" and the "rule-ordained" music of "Schoenberg's group." (Ibid., 900-901).
		Scriabin's original colour keyboard, with its associated turntable of coloured lamps, is preserved in his apartment near the Arbat in Moscow, which is now a museum dedicated to his life and works.

	Alexander Scriabin - Precursor of the Future Synthetic Art \| Rudhyar Archival Project \| Musical Works and Writings
		Alexander Scribin, in spite of the efforts of some of his friends and pupils, foremost among whom perhaps Modest Altshuler and Alfred Laliberté should be named, is still very little known except to a few music-lovers scattered throughout the great cities of Europe.
		For the lasting value of Scriabin lies in his being the first to conceive a true modal order upon which to build music, and in his daring to realize it in works; therefore, inspired by a tender yet powerful nature, he approximated the ideal which he foresaw, without transforming entirely the very units of music.
		Scriabin, then, stands as a prophet of the music of the future, a seer to whose Inner gaze the plans of a great art-synthesis were revealed; a man who lived the true life of the artist with sincerity, probity and enthusiasm.

		Scriabin was more practical than many of his contemporaries, however, for he had a clear idea of how to catalyze the apocalypse.
		But Scriabin's own personality is also evident from the beginning: the positive thrust towards the far reaches of dominant harmony in Opus 2 #1, for example, or the continual favoring of melodic leaps, demonstrated by a comparison between his etude in sixths (Opus 12 #6) and Chopin's.
		This is the Scriabin who liked to skip like a child (even in his thirties), the Scriabin who when crossing a bridge over a ravine claimed to his friends that he could jump over the edge, stop in mid-air, and return safely.
